Congratulations to freshman Oriana Gonzalez for being named the VHS Vandal of the Week!
Get to know Oriana:
-Oriana is a freshman at VHS and the daughter of Sara and Jose Gonzalez.
-As far as her favorite teacher goes, Oriana says, “I love all my teachers, but my favorite teacher would be Mrs. Maxfield.”
-After high school, Oriana wants to attend a college that focuses on the medical field. She would like to be a cardiovascular surgeon or a dermatologist.
-Oriana says the best thing about VHS is “the benefits, because Van offers more than some schools.”
-What Oriana's teachers say about her:
"Oriana is truly one of those students who make a classroom a better place simply by being in it. She is kind, respectful, hardworking, and always willing to help others. She treats everyone around her with kindness and sets such a positive example for her classmates. What stands out to me most, though, is her character. She never hesitates to lend a helping hand, and she does so without being asked or expecting recognition in return. She is dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the people around her. As a teacher, students like Oriana are an absolute joy to have in class. Oriana is truly a top-tier student in both academics and character.”

🎨💻 CREATIVITY + TECHNOLOGY AT VHS! ❤️🤍

Our Graphics 1 & 2 students have been putting their Photoshop skills—and their creativity—to work! 😍 Check out a few of their latest projects:

🪨 Graphics 1 | Stacked Rocks
Students digitally illustrated a stack of colorful rocks using Adobe Photoshop, practicing their drawing, shading, color, and design skills.

🐾 Graphics 2 | Animal Warp
Students combined typography and imagery to create an animal using words that describe it! They used Photoshop’s Warp Tool to manipulate the text into the shape and features of their chosen animal.

We love seeing our students take the skills they’re learning and turn them into something uniquely their own. Great work, Vandals! 👏🎨

🎨 CREATIVITY ON DISPLAY AT VAN HIGH SCHOOL! ❤️🤍
Our VHS art students were challenged to think outside the box this week—and they definitely delivered! Take a look at the creativity behind these two projects:
👕 “Wear It” — Students chose an everyday object and transformed it into something that could be worn. The challenge encouraged them to look at ordinary objects in a completely new way and imagine, “What else could this become?”
⏰ “Time Out of Place” — This project got a little more abstract! Students were asked to imagine TIME as a physical object and bring that idea to life through their artwork. How do you draw something you can’t actually see or touch? Our students found some incredibly creative answers!
We love seeing the imagination, problem-solving and artistic talent happening in our classrooms. ❤️
Scroll through the photos to see how our students interpreted each challenge—you might be surprised by what they came up with!
