Old Colony RVTHS made a huge impact on not only me but other as well. We decided to go there for a fresh start, away from the drama, bullies, etc. This school protected us from all those factors. Nobody is afraid to be who they are. The teachers are very helpful, and understanding. This school helps students start their career, and help with giving us a jumpstart to college.

Overall My experience at Old Colony RVTHS was wonderful. They may not have had the best meals or an arts & music program but they did wonderful in other aspects. High school can be tough but teachers here are accepting and make school worth it. The vocational aspect really prepared me for the real world and i'm glad i chose to go this route!

This school helped me prepare for my future. From what I learned in my trade I was able to skip some classes in college because I had already learned those skills in school.

My son started freshman year and I was very apprehensive about him starting public school for the very first time and to my surprise he has adjusted very well. The teachers have been wonderful and are always there to help. Very glad with the decision we made.
