Dear Viper Nation,

As we prepare for Thanksgiving break, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each member of our Vance County High School community. This season is a time to reflect on the many blessings in our lives. I am truly thankful for the incredible students, dedicated staff, supportive parents, and passionate community members who make Viper Nation a special place. This year, we have achieved so much together—academic growth, athletic successes, and moments of unity that remind us of the strength of our Viper family. Each of you plays a vital role in creating a culture of excellence and care, and I could not be prouder to serve as your principal. As we head into the holiday, I encourage you to relax, recharge, and cherish moments with loved ones. Whether enjoying a family feast, volunteering to help others, or simply taking a moment of peace, remember that your well-being is essential. On behalf of the entire VCHS leadership team, I'd like to wish you a safe and joyful Thanksgiving break. Let’s return refreshed and ready to finish this semester strong.

With gratitude,
Dr. Nealie Whitt III
Principal
Vance County High School
