They may be one of the most overlooked parts of the school, but bathrooms are necessary. If you think hard enough, you might even have some core memories tied to the school bathrooms. Were you so nervous that you needed to go pee in the middle of an exam? Did you brave a bad breakup or perfect your Homecoming makeup in front of the mirrors? Maybe you will even crack open your dream acceptance letter in front of a humble sink!

Unfortunately, not all bathrooms are created equal. Every bathroom looks different and reflects a slice of Vestavia’s history of renovations and expansion. Here’s what VHHS students recommend:

S Tier	Back of A hall, near science classes (both floors): Pros: Super clean and smells nice! Roomy stalls Looks very modern and luxurious. Cons: A bit hard to find and get to! Back of the library: Pros: Super clean because it’s barely used! Encouraging posters and art on the wall :)  Cons: Not convenient unless you’re in the library
A Tier	Back of H hall in English wing: Pros: Very similar to S-tier bathrooms Cons: Heavy traffic Not enough stalls/sinks
B Tier	E hall, near history classes: Pros: Working facilities A lot of stalls Convenient location Cons: It smells like bananas… Not as new so the aesthetics aren’t as appealing.
C Tier	End of A hall, next to Mrs. Gifford’s room, 2nd floor: Pros: A lot of stalls A lot of sinks Big in general Cons: One sink doesn’t turn off Toilets sometimes clogged A hall, close to Mrs. Sutherland’s room, 1st floor: Pros: Good location Relatively clean Cons: Not enough stalls Sinks don’t always work Toilets sometimes clogged
D Tier	A hall, close to Mr. Taylor’s room and a stairwell, 2nd floor: Pros: Light traffic. Working toilets Cons: Trash can overflowing Gum on sinks sometimes Sinks sometimes don’t work.  Next to lunchroom/auditorium, 1st floor Pros: Convenient Cons: Hard to turn on sinks Lots of trash
F Tier	D hall (both floors) Pros: Close to language/art classes Usually low traffic Cons: Not enough room Messy Strange sinks/soap dispensers that don’t always function A hall, near Mr. Conoly’s room, 1st floor Pros: Location Lots of stalls Cons: Stalls don’t always lock! Sinks/soap dispensers don’t always work Pretty messy

 You can do your part to respect the bathrooms. Practice proper hygiene, clean up after yourself, and report accidents to authorities. 

Special thanks to our hard-working custodians for keeping our school and the bathrooms safe and clean!
