Athletics

The school mascot is the Redhawk, having changed its name from Crusaders in 2006 because many had found the former name to be offensive. [4] [5] The school's athletic colors are red and white.

CVU competes in Division 1 brackets for all sports. Its chief athletic rivals are nearby South Burlington High School, Essex High School, and Mount Mansfield Union High School.

The CVU Redhawks have met the Rice Memorial Green Knights in the boys basketball state semi-finals for two consecutive years.
