Every teacher makes a concerted effort to be available to students for one-on-one conferencing and to answer questions. Parents are actively encouraged to participate in the education of their children. Unfortunately, the response to the teachers making themselves available is not what it should be by a concerned student body and the parents of those students. Read less

Vicksburg High was the best high school that I had been to ever. The staff was very understanding of everyone's learning ability and the fact that the best history teacher in the district, if not the state (Mr.Wong), to my knowledge still works there.

I have to commend Vicksburg High greatly, as my friend said, yes there is going to be problems in every school,but we are family. I love the JROTC and choir programs. I also enjoy the band. I like the wide variety of sports available to all students. About discipline, it is not the faculty's fault

Many people don't, but he has to be a very strong individual to handle such a large school. God Bless! - Varissa Friley Read less
