A message from the VHHS Counseling Department:
For the 2025-2026 school year, we will advertise our scholarships and opportunities in a new way!
We now have two live links that will be continuously updated throughout the year. We recommend that students and parents bookmark these pages for easy access. We will no longer individually list them in the weekly News to Know emails. We hope this new format will make information easier to find and keep things more organized. We will continue to list college visit information in the weekly email.
