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

Head out to Leo Brittan Field at Lion Stadium Friday night and get your first look at the 2025 Lions. The practice will last until 1:30 a.m., Saturday.


The pads were poppin' this morning as it was the first day of practice with the pads on for the Lions, as they prepare for the 2025 season. The first day of full contact drills is Friday. Instead of their regular afternoon practice on Friday, the Lions will not take the field until midnight for their Midnight Madness practice. Fans are encouraged to attend the Midnight Madness practice and get their first look at the team. The practice will start at midnight Friday, and continue until 1:30 a.m., Saturday.

If brought to school, all devices must be turned off and put away. Those who violate this policy will have their device confiscated. The device will be returned to a parent or guardian at the end of the school day.


The Lions were back at it this morning, getting the work in as they prepare for the 2025 season. They get to put on the pads Friday and will have a special and fun Midnight Madness Practice starting at Midnight Friday night and continuing until 1:30 a.m., Saturday.
