Academics

Accredited by the North Central Association, VAHS offers a core curriculum in grades 9 through 12 that does not track students by ability; instead, advanced opportunities are offered within the curriculum of each course. Consequently, VAHS courses do not carry designations such as "Honors" in their titles. Grade 9 and 10 students in core classes are taught in teams of English/social studies and math/science instructors. Students in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement courses in English language, English literature, world history, human geography, music theory, chemistry, biology, physics B, physics C, statistics, psychology, calculus AB, and calculus BC.

Athletics

VAHS has 22 athletics programs and a staff of 65 coaches. Each program consists of a varsity team, a junior varsity team, and, for some sports, one or more freshman teams.

In the 2008-09 school year, VAHS became a member of the Big Eight Conference, moving from the Badger South Conference. The school athletic teams were originally nicknamed the Verona Indians, but this was changed in 1991 to the Verona Wildcats.
