Dear Vel Phillips Memorial Community,
Welcome! We’re glad that you are a part of our thriving, strong, and caring school community. Our vision as a school is that all students can be successful if they are well understood and well supported by the entire school community and challenged through use of a rigorous and relevant curriculum, delivered with dynamic and flexible instruction. We are committed to working together to make this vision a reality for our students.
Each summer we look forward to another amazing school year and seeing our Spartans here and ready to learn.
We are VPM!
