We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best parts of my experience were the football games because of how everyone have school spirit. I don't have any worst parts of my high school experience I loved every bit.

I would like to change some of the students attitudes. There are a lot of students in lower class families. And most of those students have less self control, less respectful, and many of the boys are wanna-be-thugs. I wish these students would see a better world and try and lead away from it. But at the same time there is a great amount that try their best to get further than their parents ever had and they try. The school gives many opportunities to get your grades back up and to help you graduate.

The facilities are brand new and very nice. There's a variety of clubs, sports and activities and they offer many different career pathways so that students will already be on track for a job or college when they graduate. It is a very large school though, and it's sometimes frustrating to figure out who to direct my questions to when I have concerns.

Joining the AVID program was one of the best experiences I could have ever experienced. AVID prepares you for college as well as help you succeed during HS. I would definitely recommend AVID to all students.

I have a daughter in the IB Program at VHS. I'm very pleased with the program and thrilled that we are one of the handful of schools offering this in the state of Georgia. We are excited about the brand new school opening in August 2018.
