🩺A NOTE FROM OUR NURSE🩺
Today I was informed that Vernon College now requires the Men B vaccine as a requirement for entry into college. I am going to assume that other colleges may have the same requirement, so please look into it if you are applying to college. The health department has notified me that they can only give the Men B vaccine that they currently have in stock to kids aged 16-18. Unfortunately, if they are 19, they can not receive the vaccine for free at the health department.
It is suggested that any student that is considering admission to college should go ahead and receive the Men B series before they turn 18. They are also still required to have the 2nd dose of MCV, but they will now need the Men B also.
If you have any questions, please contact our nurse, Jennifer Walker, at 940-552-6231, ext. 3, or via email at jennifer.walker@visdtx.org.

The VHS Government class recently went on two field trips. The first field trip took the class to view Doans Crossing to learn about early government in Wilbarger County and finished up with a tour of Red River Valley Museum. We were fortunate enough to have the former Mayor of Vernon, Jeff Bearden, and curator Cooper Alexander (VHS alum) take us through both sites.
On our next tour, we were given a court lesson with Judge Cornell Curtis on how the court system works. Judge Curtis fielded all sorts of questions by students.
Many thanks to our professionals of Wilbarger County giving back to our seniors!
