VHCS Strategic Plan

Our New Strategic Plan

We're excited to share "The Vestavia Way," our newly developed strategic plan that will guide Vestavia Hills City Schools into the future! This comprehensive roadmap, created through extensive collaboration with parents, students, teachers, and community leaders, outlines four key strategic goals focused on enhancing student experience, employee engagement, family and community partnerships, and responsible stewardship. Rooted in our mission of Learning Without Limits and our core values of excellence, character, community, and safety, this plan represents our unified commitment to ensuring every student thrives in our school system. Visit vhcs.us/strategicplan to view the complete strategic plan, and stay tuned for detailed updates on each goal and our implementation progress in the coming months as we continue building on our tradition of excellence together.
 

Board of Education Meeting Highlights – July 21

The Vestavia Hills Board of Education met on July 21, 2025. You can view the meeting here. During the meeting, the Board approved the monthly financial statement, consent items related to equipment disposal and field trips, and the school system’s new strategic plan. The Board also approved updates to the Board policy regarding the system’s mission, the supplement schedule for the 2025–26 school year, and the renewal of the supplement contract for the head football coach. Additional approvals included three licensing agreements and the facility rental fee schedule. The Board also reviewed the annual evaluations for the Chief School Financial Officer (CSFO) and the Superintendent.

The Superintendent provided an update on elementary enrollment and shared that, while rezoning is not being considered this year, the school system will continue to monitor enrollment data next spring to determine whether rezoning should be considered in the future.
