History

Vines High School opened in 1976 and was built on the former farmland of William Asa Vines for $3.3 million. [5]

Mascot and colors

For 46 years Vines High School's mascot was "The Viking" and its school colors were purple and white. The school's drill team performed as "The Vikettes". Beginning in the 2023-24 school year the Plano Independent School District initiated an effort to unify 9th and 10th grade high schools with their senior high counterparts. [4] The overall goals of the initiative included improving student engagement, amplifying school pride, and simplifying overall extracurricular administration. Accordingly, Vine High School's mascot was changed to the Wildcat and the school colors were changed to maroon and white in order to align with its senior high school counterpart Plano Senior High School.

Academics

Vines now offers four Advanced Placement (AP) classes: Human Geography, European History, Principles of Computer Science, and World History.
