I would say one of the best parts about CVU is the community that is built the second you become a freshman. Particularly in sports CVU does a great job at brining people together and making you feel welcomed and right at home. On the contrary I would say my least favorite part about CVU has been difficulties I have had with teachers to find ways to better understand the work presented to me.

Champlain Valley Union High School is a great school. It fostered a strong community between its students and faculty, all of whom were very qualified and taught at a high level. I am in college now and feel like my high school experienced prepared me for higher level education. The sports are also very competitive and many students went on to play as collegiate athletes.
