Transportation for both Highland Tech and Washburn Tech will leave VFHS at 7 am as regularly scheduled throughout the remainder of this week. Given there will not be classes in the building, students who attend Vo-Tech will have classes at their respective campus each morning.

Last Friday Service Learning Day found our high school students and staff reaching out to our community and beyond to make a difference. Projects included Clothes Closet, Food Pantry, Cappers, bird boxes, Historical Society, highway clean-up, Valley Health Center, harvest baskets, library, and yardwork around town.


This year, NAESP (National Association of Elementary School Principals) is proud to welcome 43 extraordinary school leaders to the 2025 class of NAESP National Distinguished Principals (NDPs) which includes our very own Susan Grey!!
Established in 1984, the NDP program recognizes pre-K through grade 8 public school leaders from all across the country. Public school elementary and middle-level principals are nominated by peers in their state, and final selections are made by committees appointed by each of NAESP’s state affiliate offices.
These exemplary school leaders will travel to Washington, D.C., from Oct. 23 – 24, to participate in two days of events that culminate in an awards banquet to honor their accomplishments.
