Signage around the student parking lot would help make the students who drive safer and help students safely get around the parking lot.

I believe the CTE programs at Verrado High School are unmatched, and as paved a pathway for want I want to do outside of highschool.

My experience at Verrado started in 2021 when i moved across the country from Pennsylvania to Arizona. I didn't know anyone and was hoping to find new friends and a sense of community. To begin with the school wasn't very diverse to say the least, almost nobody looked like me. Over time i started to feel like i didn't belong in the school and it didn't make it better that students would go around yelling slurs and insults at people.

Had two boys in this high school and one required special assistance. Everyone has been extremely helpful and VHS provided challenging educational opportunities for each of my boys to excell in their own way. Many sports to choose from and great support from staff.
