Today, Vernon State Hospital partnered with the VMS & VHS PTO to provide treats for our Teacher Appreciation Cart. Their team delivered goodies door to door and took the time to personally thank our staff. They also delivered goodies to teachers at the State Hospital South Campus.
We truly appreciate Vernon State Hospital for supporting our campuses and recognizing the value of our educators. Community partnerships like this make a difference.

February is Career and Technical Education (CTE) month, and we're highlighting each of the eight CTE pathways that we offer at Vernon High School. A few of those pathways start at Vernon Middle School as well. All incoming ninth graders choose a pathway as they enter VHS. All of the pathways offer industry based certifications that can help the students when they enter the workforce. The pathway in the spotlight is Plant Science, which is one of three pathways that are tied to the agriculture field.

Last night our girls' basketball teams were recognized during halftime of the Lady Lions' game against Henrietta. Unfortunately, not all of our players were able to make it to the game, but those who were there were recognized at mid-court and took a picture with the Lady Lions. We look forward to seeing these ladies competing on the court at D.O. Fulton Gym in the future.
