Windows XP is dead. You shouldn't linger on that obsolete system anymore. Either upgrade to Vista or 7.
Right...
Upgrading to 7 from XP is great, but you seem to have no idea when you even put "Vista" and "upgrade" in the same sentence. If we were talking about an upgrade from Windows 98, I might agree with you (just maybe).
XP is the most stable Windows OS there is that can be used in general, these days. Vista is an absolute joke... security, compatibility, speed, resource consumption... all atrocious. The general public were all attracted to it simply because it was new and looked nice.
Guess what? Nine years later, Microsoft still supports XP. They were planning to stop supporting it sometime after the release of Vista, but many businesses, governments, schools, end-users, etc. switched back, for the reasons above.
I don't think MS made it intentional to distribute Vista in it's now-"finished" state, but it does seem like an unfinished project. They made up for it with 7, which looks good, and performs about the same as XP. It's a little less stable than XP, but I like its neat features and looks.
Is it a public or private school? I'm assuming you live in the US? Just a huge surprise to me that whoever is in charge would make such a foolish decision...
And that would be my longest ever post, I think. =P

OT: That is pretty amusing, I have yet to install H2V, anyway, can't be that bad, lol.
EDIT: Oops, didn't read anything after Heed's post, too much rage, had a bad day, lol. Basically what Armageddonmatt said. JacobGRocks: 50/50 for your response. Nearly.
