Valley Heights Secondary School (in French, "''L'École Secondaire Valley Heights''") is a two-story rural high school located near Walsingham, Ontario, Canada. The official initials for this high school are ''VHSS''. ==Summary== Opened in 1971, Valley Heights sits on a property that spans and includes fields, Carolinian forests, rivers and marshy areas. Valley Heights also has a large cross country running course. The school has hosted the ''Norfolk County High School'' cross country meet on numerous occasions. This school is the only high school in the entire Haldimand-Norfolk-Brant region to receive top marks for stewardship of the environment, minimizing the waste of natural resources, and conserving energy for future generations of Valley Heights students. The idea was started in 2008 and was deemed successful in 2011.〔 *(''Valley Heights is golden'' ) at TillsonburgNews.com〕 Even though a sizeable amount of students who attend Valley Heights are not Mennonites, the location of the school makes it ideal for Mennonites to attend as it is adjacent to the farmland that their parents work on. During the 2000-01 school year there were approximately 700 students. However, a Roman Catholic school based out of Simcoe opened in 2001, which offered students newer equipment and more course choices (even though it was the closest to Simcoe Composite School). This, with the elimination of grade thirteen in Ontario, resulted in a decrease in student population down to 500. A roof fire that occurred on July 25, 2012 on top of the gymnasium as a result of a botched roofing job. It cost the school $25,000 in overall damages and the damaged areas were secured before the thunderstorms that occurred early the next morning. Repairs were officially completed on July 31; not affecting any classes or activities that started on September 2012.〔(''Roof fire at VHSS was close call'' ) at the Delhi News-Record〕 VHSS has beefed up their academics programs to entice possible transfer students.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=The Simcoe Reformer )〕 Plans to close down Port Dover Composite School came into reality on the night of January 31, 2013. Valley Heights Secondary School is partially powered by solar energy coming from solar panels installed in the immediate vicinity.〔(Environmental Programs ) at Grand Erie District School Board〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Valley Heights Secondary School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
