A huge THANK YOU to our sponsors — your support makes a big difference. When a community works with and supports its schools, both grow stronger together. 🦁❤️
And a big shout-out to all who signed up — our scramble is officially FULL! We’re excited for a great day of golf, fellowship, and cooler temperatures (especially after last year when Vernon made the record books as the hottest spot in the USA 🔥☀️). See ya Saturday morning for donuts, coffee and juice before we tee off at 8:30 a.m.
Go LIONS! 🦁

Vernon Community,
Vernon ISD put the finishing touches on what I would call a great convocation last week, and I led off that ceremony with the statement “there is no greater time in my career than now to be a teacher.” The world is still lacking in the respect that needs to be demonstrated to teachers and the job that they do; however, it is comforting and a step in the right direction when the Legislature determines it is time for the teachers to be awarded a raise.....

Brett White's Government class is currently studying the U.S. Constitution and the 27 amendments. On Tuesday, students were taken on a field trip to learn the art of "mending" fences, which in turn helped them understand the importance of the need to "amend" the Constitution. While on the field trip, the students discussed that in the 238 years of the U.S. Constitution, it has only needed "mending" 27 times. The students thought that was pretty good "fencing" for our country!
Gayla DeHoyos was our librarian when she died unexpectedly last October. Gayla was beloved by all of our students and was known as "Momma G." Today, her husband, Tony DeHoyos, and her daughter, Sara, handed out "Momma G" backpacks that included school supplies to students during our two lunch periods.

A pig, a chicken, a cow and a dog. No, we're not talking about the song "Old McDonald." This morning Brett White took his AP World History students on a field trip to visit all of these four animals in their habitat. The students were tasked with deciding which animal is the oldest in mankind and the one most closely related to the dinosaur, T-Rex. Most were surprised to learn the chicken shares 60% DNA with the T-Rex, while the pig is the oldest of the four animals.
The first few days of every new school year can be hectic -- especially at the high school level. Our two counselors divide the grades between them to better serve our students. This year, Carol Taylor is the counselor for the freshman and sophomore class, while Sandra Kieschnick is the counselor for the junior and senior class. If you have any questions or concerns about your student, please reach out to the appropriate counselor.
