Cahaba Heights Comm School

We have had three children attend VHECH for three years and have been very pleased. The student body is free from pervasive problems like cliques and bullying. In our experience, the teachers have been effective, kind and patient. The system is well funded and caring. VHECH provides an education to the children in a nurturing and fun environment. With a relatively small student body of just over 300, there exists an overall feeling of familiarity to the school. Plans and funds to update/improve the facility are in the making.
