Vernon High School

The Class of 2026 had a great turnout for their "last, first day of high school" sunrise event this morning at Leo Brittain Field at Lion Stadium.

We kicked off the 2025-26 school year this morning, but last night we had students and parents on our VHS campus picking up class schedules, meeting teachers and getting ready for the school year.

We have some wonderful PTOs at our campuses. Children do better in school when they see their parents involved and interested in what they are doing.

Want to stay in the loop on all PTO activities this years VMS & VHS? Fundraisers, events, volunteer opportunities, and more — we’ll keep you informed!

👉 Join this GroupMe and watch for posts on the VMS & VHS PTO Facebook page for all the latest updates and ways to get involved.

Let’s make this school year the best one yet! 🦁

VHS sophomores, juniors and seniors, if you have your ID badge from last year, please make sure you wear it tomorrow when we begin the 2025-26 school year. After we see who still has their badge, we will make a list of those students who need a new badge. Freshmen, we will issue ID badges later. We're looking forward to seeing EVERYONE -- whether you have a badge or not -- tomorrow!!

We can't wait for our students to join us on campuses across the district tomorrow!!
Here is the cafeteria menu for August. Please remember that ALL Vernon ISD students receive a free breakfast and lunch, as the district is part of the Community Eligibility Program.

Seniors start your "last first day of school" off with a little fun!!! Join your classmates at Leo Brittain Field at Lion Stadium at 6:30 a.m. tomorrow for a group photo!!

Here's a brief message from VISD Supt. Dr. Kermit Ward, as the district's first day of school for the 2025-26 school year is just 2 days away.

TOMORROW'S THE DAY!!
Freshman Orientation!!
All VHS incoming 9th graders will need to report to the VHS Cafeteria at 1 p.m., Tuesday. VHS administrators will go over campus policies; upperclassmen will speak about the different clubs and organizations students can join; and students will receive their class schedules.

Remember -- our VISD Meet The Teacher event is tomorrow!! We're looking forward to having students and their parents back on our campuses as we get ready for the first day of school!

The sound of our Roarin' Lion Band echoing across the field is already fantastic, and their commitment to excellence is truly inspiring. Band students have already begun work for this year's marching competition season and the upcoming football season, learning music and drill for our upcoming show as well as painting their paws outside of the music building! This season is going to be something special, and it's all because of their unwavering passion!

There was plenty of excitement and energy on Leo Brittain Field early Saturday morning as the Lions held their Midnight Madness Practice. The Lions get their first taste of real action this Friday, when they travel to Abilene for a scrimmage against Lamesa.

We're just 2 days away from the first day of our 2025-26 school year!!! Here is the start and dismissal times for each campus. We're looking forward to the upcoming school year!!

We welcome students back to the classroom on Wednesday, as we get our 2025-26 school year underway. Our Meet The Teacher event is set for Tuesday, but with this video we would like to introduce the newest members of our VISD family. https://youtu.be/RUt54liTBLw
