The CVU property contains a baseball field, a softball field, a field hockey field, a football field, a track, and three soccer fields. During the spring, the field hockey and soccer fields are used for lacrosse. CVU added a goat farm onto its campus in the spring of 2017.[citation needed]

Sign

Athletics[]

The school mascot is the Redhawk, having changed its name from Crusaders in 2006 because many had found the former name to be offensive.[2][3] The school's athletic colors are red and white.

CVU competes in Division 1 brackets for all sports. Its chief athletic rivals are nearby South Burlington High School, Essex High School, and Mount Mansfield Union High School.
