Dr. Judith Vanderbok replaced him in 2005.
The school colors are crimson and gray and the teams are called the Wolves.
History
Van Nuys High School opened in 1915 .
The Los Angeles Unified School District ordered Van Nuys High School to convert to year-round scheduling in 2001 due to reasons such as overcrowding. Even though it relieved the overcrowding of Van Nuys High School, the Magnet Programs separated tracks, along with the residential students. The Performing Arts Magnet and the Medical Magnet were only available on the A-Track Schedule, while the Math and Science Magnet was only available on the C-Track Schedule. B-Trackers could not take the same classes as C-Trackers, while C-Trackers could only take certain A-Track classes. Teachers that had both A-Track and C-Track students were frustrated because the curriculum had to be synchronized with both tracks.
Van Nuys High School returned to the Traditional School Year in 2005. It caused Van Nuys High School to be even more overcrowded.
The opening of Panorama High School in October 2006 relieved overcrowding at Van Nuys High School.
Van Nuys High School is also home to one of the best instrumental music programs in all of LAUSD. The VNHS Marching Band won the LAUSD Championships several times including a three year streak. Their concert band has always been given the "superior" marking at festivals. Other than being home to these two amazing groups, Van Nuys High School is also home to these wonderful and amazing musical emsembles: the Sinfonietta, Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Combo (the only student organized group), Brass Ensemble, woodwind chamber groups and the VNHS Vannaires (choral ensemble). It is also home of one of the few organs installed in LAUSD.
Van Nuys Community Adult School
The Adult School is on the same campus as Van Nuys High School. It allows adults as well as high school students to take classes. Most Van Nuys High School students take courses in the Adult School for academic remediation. However, some take classes for Counselor-Identified High School Credit Deficiencies, while others take classes for personal necessities of flexible scheduling.
