OLD VHS The old white building was erected in 1863 as the grade school for the East School District of Vergennes. In 1864 all twelve grades were housed in the building. When it was first erected, it consisted of only the three story part of the present structure. The West Annex, containing the Home Economics room. Room 3, and Study Hall, was built in 1904. Interior remodeling since its construction has changed the arrangement of the rooms to the fifteen classrooms it now contains. The original seating capacity of the entire school was two hundred sixty-six. At present the same building houses three hundred forty-seven Junior and Senior High School pupils. In 1864 a large number of students came from out of town. In the current school year seventy per cent of the Junior and Senior High School pupils come from the surrounding area. The bell which has called students to their studies in the morning and at noon and has announced athletic victories through the years was installed in 1888. In 1898 a fire escape and stairway were built on the west side of the building. These were removed at the time of the erection of the present fire escapes. The gymnasium was built in 1935, following the fire which leveled the Old Baptist Church, then used for a gymnasium. The present gymnasium was built with the financial aid of the Federal Government. In the early years of its existence the two main courses offered were The Classical and The Latin-Scientific courses. After the turn of the century the courses offered were The Latin Course, The Agriculture Course and The English Course. Later the courses were changed to the ones which are offered today: The College Preparatory, The Vocational Agricultural, The General and The Business Courses. Many graduates of VHS have attained recognition in the business, professional and political world. This alone proves that OLD VHS has done its work well through the many years of its existence. This building will become part of the memory of this era. The future of the youth of Vergennes and the surrounding area will be formed in the new Union High School to be opened in September of 1959.
