Virtual tour of VWHS now online! |
By: Sean Ziakam & DJ Svabik
Ever wonder what things are like inside the halls of Van Wert High
School now? Well, after a lot of work, the Web Design class has
now preserved the halls of VWHS through an online Virtual Tour.
Every room can be viewed, including the closets and restrooms!
With this being the last full year in the current High School building,
we thought people may want to browse around and see what things are like
inside the building. We are currently working on doing the same
project for the Middle School, so feel free to give us any feedback you
may have. Also notice that we have added a link on the left side
of this page so that anytime in the future you can come back and access
this tour.
