I have spent the last four years at Van High School. My experience at this school has changed my life. The teachers are superb and they have prepared me for college. Van high school is a very small school. Because of Van being a small school it has created a family atmosphere. That helps the students learn what they need faster. The teams at Van High School are amazing; basketball and football have a winning seasons since I have been in high school. I play for the girls basketball team and my team has made a difference in people's life. The girls that play get something to enjoy and be inspired by it. If the girls enjoy playing the sport it helps their grades. So it helps the school all around by playing sport to the help from the teachers.

I transferred to Van high school a couple months into my junior year, and I wouldn't go back and change my decision for anything. The teachers push me to do my absolute best and actually care about my life. The whole school acts as one giant family and I love it. I would definitely say the school and the community have bulldog pride and I'm blessed to be a part of it all.

There is only the after school program. We could use more clubs for our students to get involved in.
