VPHS Academic Competition Class - Fall 2024
Students participate in three activities*:
Mock Trial- Fall
Academic Decathlon - Winter
Model United Nations - Spring
Mock Trial
Students prepare arguments for a given case as either the prosecution or defense. They present their arguments in a mock trial, portraying attorneys, witnesses, and supporting roles. Real judges and attorneys provide feedback and scores.
Model United Nations
Students role-play as delegates of different countries, researching their stances on worldwide issues. Through debate and negotiation, students will tackle problems in a diplomatic matter.
*Not all students will have to compete in all three, but the class will prepare students in all areas.
Academic Decathlon
Students study 7 disciplines related to a topic: Art, Economics, Literature, Math, Music, Science, and Social Science.
Students will develop proficiency in 3 skills: Speech, essay composition, and interview.
On competition day, students will present the culmination of their efforts in various formats, being scored individually and as a team against other schools.

Senior Blowout Assembly
Finishing off the school year for the class of 2024, a senior “Blowout Assembly” was held on Friday in the gym. To add a charismatic feel to the assembly, students also had the opportunity to play games – including a pie, eating, and scavenger hunt game. With tradition in mind for our assemblies year-around, band and color guard; cheer; ASB; and dance also performed. Even teachers, as a farewell to the graduating class, danced as well. Following the conclusion of the blowout assembly, a Senior BBQ was held at the pool where food and drinks were provided. Props to our chefs Principal McCuistion and Athletic Director Mr. Fox
