Victoria High is a wonderful school. This school year, Vic High will be celebrating 150 years of providing interesting and challenging opportunities for its students. Vic High continues to offer a wide range of academic choices and an extensive range of electives including Technology, Fine Arts, Home Economics, Career Preparation and Apprenticeship opportunities, as well as English Language Learner courses and Physical Education. Our historic building and grounds provide first-class facilities for our students. Renovations completed in 1979 and 1998 have enhanced and modernized the heritage structure. The addition in 2011 of the Fairey Technical wing gives Vic High the newest, most advanced Applied Tech centre in Greater Victoria. Victoria High School has been seismically upgraded and the iconic exterior of the oldest high school in Western Canada has been preserved. Exterior elements, such as terracotta, granite and brick masonry, were retained. Interior features, including the marble and art glass in the main entrance and lobby, and the painted wood panels and art glass in the auditorium/balcony, were also preserved.
