Vinalhaven High School is a kindergarten through twelfth grade public school located at 22 Arcola Lane, Vinalhaven, an island located in mid-coast Maine. VHS is divided into five teams: the K-2 Team, 3-5 Team, Middle School Team, High School Team and Discovery Team. The Discovery Team consists of the drama, music, art, physical education and technology departments. Due to Vinalhaven's small size, VHS is a close-knit school and the island community plays a large role in running the school.
