VHS History

The first Vineland High School was opened in 1870. Throughout the ages, VHS has been rich in tradition, pride and enthusiasm. 

As a leader in academic, athletic and artistic excellence, VHS has demonstrated why it is one of New Jersey's finest high schools. 

The Vineland High School campus consists of two schools, Vineland High School North (Grades 9-10) and Vineland High School South (Grades 11-12). 

The combined enrollment is approximately 3500 students. VHS South was built in 1963 and VHS North was built in 1976.

Our Mission

The mission of the North and South campuses of Vineland High School is to provide the best educational program for all of our students. We will ensure a safe, stimulating and caring educational environment through a program of academics, arts, technology, athletics, and extra-curricular activities. This will promote academic excellence, self-esteem, sound character, responsibility, and respect for diversity in all of our staff and students. We recognize that student achievement is the result of a strong collaboration between administration, teachers, families, and the community. Through this collaborative effort, our students will become knowledgeable, life-long learners who will be contributing and responsible citizens in our changing society. All students will be challenged to become active participants in the quest for personal excellence. We expect the best from our students and we will give no less of ourselves.
