Most teachers are very passionate and care about the studens; meanwhile, other teachers could care less. I appreciate all of the teachers who assisted me on my journey. They really worked hard to make sure every student was taken care of.

I would like to see the administration and community be more open to change and more respectful of progressive students and their ideals. However, the faculty and their values are diverse, and everyone can find a place here are VAHS. The teachers all value their students' success, and there are plenty of clubs and extracurricular activities to get involved in.
