Valparaiso Community Schools are top in Northwest Indiana for education. From the elementary schools up to the high school, these schools offer so much for the students that attend. Their academics programs are wonderful and really help the students excel in all their learning. The teachers work very hard to accommodate all students, whether online or in person. The VCS also offer a huge variety of clubs and activities. Any student, if they want, can find something to participate and thrive in. The sports programs in Valparaiso Schools are amazing and offer youth many avenues to improve and show case their talents. The schools are very safe and the administration provides great communication with the parents and families to make sure all are informed of protocols. VCS also has wonderful Art and Music programs. My children have benefited from the wealth of knowledge of many of the musical talents in the schools. They also have a great STEAM program throughout all the schools.
The teachers at Valparaiso are mostly amazing! They gladly work with students and make the learning fun, while also engaging. Though, the administration is another story. With that, the entire time I attended Valparaiso High School, it was under construction. This caused a huge annoyance and led to many health concerns and other issues throughout all four years. In the end, I was unable to actually see the results.
Valparaiso Community Schools has been a great part of my entire school career. It has given me several wonderful experiences and many opportunities to spread my wings. The sports, clubs and positive environment is why I love being at Valparaiso High School. I am always looking forward to the sporting events every Friday night, it is always a great time. Attending sporting events has become my favorite part of being a part of Valpo. I love attending several clubs because of the friendly people and teachers. Teachers and students always try to be friendly to you, even on a bad day they make your day brighter. Valpo has very few points to improve, such as needing to take more precautions about not spreading COVID-19. I believe Valpo needs to make it a requirement to wear masks the entire school day to lower the chance of spreading the virus to other students. Overall, I love attending Valparaiso Community Schools and I am thankful for the wonderful memories it has given me.
