Vryburg High School
Vryburg High School (VHS) is a co-educational public school for day and boarding pupils located in Vryburg, North West, South Africa. The school made news in 1998 when tensions between white, Afrikaans-speaking students and black students who were taught in English led to violence including alleged hostage-taking, beatings of students, and riots. But that's history and today Vryburg High School performs exceptionally well in various areas, such as sport, culture, youth show and their academics are among the best in the North West Province.
