On Tuesday, Vernon ISD held a CTE Fair for our 8th grade students. The students took a field trip to the Wilbarger County Expo Center where the CTE Fair was set up, with each of our CTE pathways having a booth manned by the teacher and high school students who are currently in the pathway. The 8th grade students were able to pick up information and ask questions about the different pathways. Students and their parents returned to the CTF Fair Tuesday night so the parents could visit the booths and get information about the pathways. All 8th grade students must choose a pathway before their freshman year. Also Tuesday night, students and parents were able to work on their class schedule for next year.
During a special board meeting held last night, Vernon ISD trustees named Brock Payne athletic director and head football coach for the district. Payne has been a member of our VISD family for five years, serving as the Lions defensive coordinator and teaching Spanish, as well as wearing many other hats. Be watching for the story we will post later today.
