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!!
