In all of my years of going to Vicksburg High school, I can say I would not change my experiences for anything. Of course it has its flaws, but the school has a community that is willing to help anyone.

Vicksburg High School has been my home for the past 2 years. I have really enjoyed my time here, and hope for the best for the students who will remain here. The faculty and staff is awesome and does everything in their power to make sure each student is successful. No change is needed. VHS is one of the best schools I have ever attended.

My overall experience with VHS I would give it a 8/10. The teachers, Principals, and other staff try their best to make school a fun and educational place for the student body. Some students keep up mess and drama but our staff tries their best to prevent all bad things from happening. If you try, you most definitely can learn alot from the teachers and from other students.
