The Board does not permit students who do not reside within the city of Vestavia Hills to attend Vestavia Hills City Schools.  Current students who subsequently move out of the school district may be allowed to continue to attend Vestavia Hills schools for the remainder of the current semester upon payment of tuition.  The Board will not provide transportation to and from school or homebound instruction outside of the city limits of Vestavia Hills.

Senior students who legally attended Vestavia Hills High School during the prior school year may attend Vestavia Hills High School for their senior year even though they live outside of the attendance area; provided, however, that said student pays out-of-district tuition, the amount of which shall be established by the Board of Education.

No, VHCS policy limits enrollment only to Vestavia Hills residents who have custody of a child.
