Welcome to the Vicksburg Community Schools.
We are glad you are taking the time to get to know us, and we look forward to knowing and working with you. Whether you are a student, parent, employer, community member, prospective employee, or an interested citizen, we are eager to share with you our commitment to teaching and learning and our joy in serving children.
A strong tradition of excellence and achievement characterizes Vicksburg's school programs, our staff, and most notably, our students. Vicksburg parents have high aspirations for their children. Together, we work to provide programs and services, which will help each child, reach their potential and enjoy success. Parents, staff, and students alike, have come to think of Vicksburg as a winning team.
As you look through this website, you will get a snapshot of the Vicksburg Community Schools. We invite you, also, to visit our schools in person, talk with us, and become part of the Vicksburg Community Schools Family.

Athletes Don't Pay to Play in Vicksburg!
The Vicksburg Athletic Boosters have stepped up and committed to funding the Athletic Department to avoid student athletes having to “pay to play”. This has become a common cost cutting practice in school districts across the state. Vicksburg is blessed to have supportive and dedicated boosters who want to ensure students have every opportunity to participate in athletics. Club teams, 7th and 8th Grade Football and High School Lacrosse, still have club fees.
Free Admission to All Home Athletic Contests!
Once again, the Vicksburg Athletic Boosters have created an amazing opportunity for all Vicksburg students. Starting this fall all K-12 students can go to any athletic event free of charge. High School and Middle School students will have to show their valid student ID and elementary students who come with a paying adult will get in free. Supporting Bulldog athletics just got easier thanks to the Vicksburg Athletic Boosters.
