VCS Alumni Connections – Our Past, Our Present, Their Future

The first school in the village of Victor opened in 1816 and served 50 students.  (https://www.victorschools.org/community/alumni/history-of-vcs) 

Our community has grown, and our class of 2025 had 329 graduates.  Our VCSEF Alumni Connections Committee enjoys staying connected with our amazing alumni community so we can continue to support current students who sit in the desks and classrooms we all fondly remember.

The VCS Alumni Speaker Series launched in May 2023 with David Wadhwani (VCS ’89), President of Digital Media at Adobe, and a 2023 VCS Graduate of Distinction inductee. Mr. Wadhwani shared his thoughts on the role of tech companies, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the importance of socially responsible computing.

VCS Records Center

VCS has developed a school archives in their records center.  This archive, or historical collection can serve two primary purposes:

  1. Be a repository for the collection and preservation of historically valuable documents relating to the history of our school, which would otherwise be lost.
  2. Constitute an important element of programs for teaching research-related skills to students.
