Valdres Upper Secondary School
Valdres Upper Secondary School (Valdres videregåande skule) is a high school in Leira, just south of the town of Fagernes in Nord-Aurdal Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The school is the primary high school for the vast majority of students in the greater Valdres area, and offers a relatively broad range of subjects. The school is run by the Innlandet County Municipality.[1]
Since distances in the area are quite big, many students live in small apartments closer to the school (e.g. students from the areas farthest away may take up to an hour of travel every day by bus just to get to school).
Prior to 2001 split in two campuses, one in Leira and another at Fagernes, but a new building and heavy investment from the municipality enlarged the Leira campus so that everyone could be at one school.
At the time of writing, the principal is Kari Elisabeth Rustad, and the student count is generally around 500.[2]
