- This is truly a great school. With the longest running (60 years!) father-sponsored fundraiser in the nation, you know the parental involvement is pretty high. The principal is wonderful and the teachers are great. You're lucky if you get the chance to be involved with VW!

- Both of our girls went to Verdugo Woodlands and we still have wonderful memories. We were lucky and blessed to end up there. They are now this year graduating from Glendale High School and College (UCLA) Thank you!
