Superintendent’s Message

With more than a century dedicated to student success, Vance County Schools has established a rich history of developing responsible citizens to graduate and compete in the global economy. Building upon this established commitment, VCS strategically looks to the future to position our district to meet the societal needs and demands that lie ahead. 

VCS’s commitment to creating an environment where students are challenged academically and engaged global citizens happens within a community where diversity, inclusion, integrity, and high expectations are not only welcome, but embraced. The diversity of our community is a strength that not only enriches the learning environment with varied backgrounds, but prepares our graduates to better lead in a global environment. 

As part of the district’s commitment to providing broad experiences and opportunities, the 2022-25 Strategic Roadmap clearly defines objectives and delivers transformative outcomes. Looking through the lens of our four strategic pillars (Equity & Inclusion, High Performance Culture, Innovation, and Experiential Learning), we will create a personalized approach to learning that allows us to meet the needs of our community and develop the students, teachers, and leaders the world needs. We are honored to begin this journey together and we invite the involvement and commitment of the entire VCS community.
