On May 29, 2024, a Medallion Dinner was held for Villa Park High School’s exemplary students at the Orange County Mining Company. Around twenty six students were nominated by teachers for their academic and service achievements while as a student here at VPHS. The process to be nominated for a medallion is intricate indeed. Per a department, one to two students are chosen amongst a group of several teachers. Nominated students typically have exuded an academic excellence within their grades, vested interest, and work ethic.
