Herøy Vidaregåande Skule

What Herøy Vidaregåande Skule does

Herøy Vidaregåande Skule is a public upper secondary school (videregåande skule) located at Lisjebøveien 4 in Fosnavåg, Herøy municipality, Norway. The school is owned and operated by Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune (Møre og Romsdal County Municipality), Org.nr 944 183 779, and serves as the government-funded upper secondary provider for the Søre Sunnmøre region. It is led by Rector Tore Tangen, appointed in 2024. Education is provided free of charge to students, consistent with the Norwegian public education model, and the school has no independent revenue streams outside county appropriations.

The school delivers six vocational and career programs at VG1-VG3 levels: Naturbruk (Natural Resources), Teknologi- og industrifag (Technology and Industrial Trades), Restaurant- og matfag (Restaurant and Food Trades), Helse- og oppvekstfag (Health and Child Development), Bygg- og anleggsteknikk (Building and Construction), and a Karriererettleiing (Career Guidance) support service. It also offers adult education in healthcare and childcare, and administers privatisteksamen (private exam) arrangements for external candidates. The operational technology stack is non-proprietary and county-aligned: Visma InSchool handles student records, attendance and grades; Visma Privatist manages external exam registration; Compilo handles deviation and incident reporting; Dialog channels digital complaints to the county; Microsoft Forms supports the local waitlist; and FRAM coordinates student transportation. There is no proprietary platform or in-house product — the school consumes standard SaaS administered at the county level.

Herøy vgs recruits students through the centralized national VIGO application portal, supplemented by orientation meetings for 10th graders and parents, career days, hospitering visits, open school events, and a local waitlist for late or alternative-choice applicants. Its GTM is event-driven and community-led, targeting youth transitioning from lower secondary as the primary persona, with adult learners as a secondary segment. Communication with parents and students runs through the website (heroy.vgs.no), the InSchool portal, Facebook, and a YouTube channel shared with the county municipality. The school maintains published compliance with Norway's statutory right to a safe school environment.
