Asoftball field and additional batting cages have improved the athletic facility.The Multimedia Technology Center, located in the former auto shop,continues to provide the school with a state of the art showplace fortechnology-driven instruction. These physical improvements have kept pacewith state and federal requirements. All of these projects have served toimprove teaching and learning at VHHS.However, despite the beauty of the facility, additional work and upgradesneed to be done. The large gym needs repair and upgrading to be compliantwith safety and other mandated regulations such as size and proper allstudentaccess to the facility.In the classroom, all learning spaces have Internet access and computerscapable of connecting to the internet. Almost every teacher has his or herown LCD projector for instructional use. DVD units are available forsupplementing instruction with video.

Verdugo Hills High School WASC/CDE Self-Study Reportthroughout the District, resulting in substantial reductions in Title I fundingthat has continued to decrease due to declining enrollment. This results inreductions in spending for the present school year. Improved efforts ingenerating approved Title I applications will restore as much funding aspossible.In addition to the above mentioned funds, the Booster Club and studentfundraising help to augment school budgets for extracurricular programssuch as band and drama. Verdugo is a scenic campus and conveniently closeto entertainment industry centers. Therefore, some money for the studentbody is generated through leasing the school to production companies forfilming of movies, television programs and advertisements, music videos,and other related activities.
