Vernon High School

We here at Vernon ISD want to see our students succeed as much as you do. We want to give them the absolute best and are striving to improve every day. One of those improvements is that Vernon High School will be administering, AND paying for, the ACT exam for ALL of our 11th grade students at Vernon High School! We believe this is one more step towards setting our students up for excellence! More information will be shared with these students at a later date.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR SUPERINTENDENT REGARDING VHS DRESS CODE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES Vernon Family: We are excited about the start of the Spring semester tomorrow. The staff and I have discussed the critical things that need to be in place to ensure that each VISD HS student is successful. It is important that all students understand the VISD board approved dress code before returning to school. There are no changes to the dress code; only a commitment from the staff to commit to ensuring that it is implemented. For all students arriving to school out of dress code the student will be given the opportunity to conform to VISD dress code standards, parents will be notified, and as a last resort the student will be placed in ISS until the current mode of dress can be amended. Additionally, I can assure this community that the VISD staff shows up each and every day to teach and teach the whole child. Frequently student cell phone usage impedes their pursuit. Moving forward there will be no cell phone usage of any kind in the classroom. For students seen with their cell phones, the students will be asked to turn in their cell phones to the office. Parents will be notified and will be able to pick the cell phone up in the front office. Excellence in anything originates from developing a strong set of standards and high expectations. Effective communication of those standards and high expectations should always be considered paramount. For this reason, the campus administration has planned an assembly for all students to review the different approach.
