Dear Vernon High School families,
Exciting news! Your student is invited to join us on a once-in-a-lifetime international travel experience with their peers to England, France, Belgium and Germany in Summer 2025! This opportunity is available to current 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students at VHS.
Educational travel exposes students to new people, places, and cultures which in turn expands their knowledge of the world and their knowledge of themselves. That’s why I’m thrilled to bring this opportunity to your family and our community.
This trip will fill up fast, so please join my informational meeting to learn:
- How this opportunity will benefit your child
- What we’ll see and do on our trip
- Everything that’s included in this experience
- How your child can earn academic credit
- How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
- How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period
Our meeting will be held on Monday, August 28, 2023 at 7:00 PM - there are limited spots available so don’t miss your opportunity to reserve your seat. One parent or guardian must be in attendance.
So that I can alert you of any changes to this meeting, you must register using this link: https://bit.ly/44aPVnV
Can’t make the meeting but want more information? Register and select “No but send info.”

Vernon ISD Supt. Dr. Kermit Ward started his first, first day of school with Vernon ISD at McCord Elementary where he found some friends to join him for a first-day photo. Dr. Ward visited each school campus today, walking the hallways, talking to students and teachers, and either went into, or peeped in on each class. All campuses reported a relatively smooth first day of school, which is a great way to start this great 2023-24 school year!!
A big THANK YOU to C&N Flowers and Cindy Henderson for delivering this beautiful bouquet of roses to the Administrative Center this morning wishing Vernon ISD a great 2023-24 school year. This type of community support will help make it a great school year. Thanks again!
