Meet the Head of School
I’m incredibly proud to both lead and be part of the VCHS family! The students, faculty and staff, and parents are extraordinary! More than a year ago, I chose VCHS not only for myself, but for my own high school son. As a career educator, I know what makes a great school. It’s always the faculty! The faculty at VCHS are subject experts, creative teachers and love the high school students that they teach. And, they know how to have fun. They are also Christians motivated by a faith that has love at its foundation.
As you look at high school options for your child, I’m sure (like me) you want the very best. I’m convinced that the people who make up VCHS – the teachers, the students and the parents – bring out the best in our students!
Check us out and see for yourself!
