School World Offers Real-World Experiences As students at Valdosta High, we had the chance to obtain the best of both worlds — the friends and fun of our relatively small realm, and the foundations for success in the world outside our school. Some of us explored foreign countries, others got a taste of military service, and still others learned a trade or practiced salesman- ship — all within the bounds of our own school walls. We indulged ourselves in the pleasures of sports, drama, and music, sometimes as spectators and sometimes as participants. We found that, between the walls of its double-diamond floorplan, VHS offered us as many opportunities for aesthetic ex- periences, athletic endeavors, and academic pursuits as we could find anywhere in the world outside our school.
