I love everything about Vandegrift Highschool and here are some of the reasons why! The school offers a wide range of courses, including Advanced Placement (AP) classes, dual enrollment opportunities, and specialized programs such as the STEM Academy and the Viper Band. The school's faculty is highly trained, and they have always helped me in achieving my goals.

As a senior at Vandegrift, I have to say that this school is very academically competitive and very friendly at the same time. As a freshman, it was during the COVID-19 Pandemic, making it hard for me to make friends and connections because I came from Cedar Park Middle School. However, I made multiple friends in the choir and a few friends from my online classes, which made me feel welcome in this new environment. Throughout high school, I made a lot more friends after I went back to in-person learning, which helped me become more social and confident in my life. Meanwhile, the teachers and faculty at Vandegrift are very supportive and want you to be cared for and supported when needed. For example, when I faced an issue with another student at school, my Assistant Principal helped resolve the issue, making me feel like I belonged. I would highly recommend any K-12 student living in the Steiner Ranch and Four Points areas to go to Vandegrift High School!
Best music and marching band program in the US! Band directors are absolutely amazing in every way, and they are focused on teaching kids about excellence, commitment, involvement, team work, and how hard work pays off. Parents are happily involved and it feels like a big family!
