Vernon ISD

The summer has just started, but it's not too early to start thinking about the 2026 Vernon Lion football season. Below is the football schedule, along with the Pep Rally dress-up themes for each game. Excitement is already building! Athletes are already working! We're looking forward to a great year!!

Today was Day 1 of the Vernon Baseball Camp and Vernon Softball Camp. The camp will continue tomorrow and Wednesday.

We're just a few weeks into our summer break, but Vernon ISD is already working on making the 2026-27 school year the best it can be! Starting tomorrow, June 9, parents of children who attended VISD last year can register those students for the upcoming school year AND parents of children who did not attend VISD last year can enroll them for the upcoming school year. Online registration can be done by going to our website www.vernonisd.org or by clicking this link: https://www.vernonisd.org/page/skyward-access
In-person registration/enrollment will be held later this summer.

Good luck to junior Bowie Eakin who is competing in the 2026 Texas High School Rodeo Association State Finals being held this week in Abilene. Bowie is competing in both steer wrestling and calf roping, and will be competing against top high school rodeo athletes from across the state.

Two Vernon Lady Lions -- Klancy Sherrill and Aaliyah Moralez -- will be playing in the Oil Bowl Volleyball Game, which will be held Saturday.

Student STAAR test results and End-of-Course test results will be released later this month. EOC results will be released June 10, with STAAR results set to be released June 16. Parents will be able to view their child's score results through Skyward once the results are released.

Over 210 area youngsters 3 years of age to 18 had fun at the 2026 Vernon Tennis Camp that was held this week. https://youtube.com/shorts/M7hftc-q9B4?feature=share

When we announced the District 7-3A all-district baseball selections we missed one of our Lions who was on the list. Congrats to Zack Harjo for his selection.

With District 7-3A's Iowa Park reaching the Class 3A State Championship game, which was played a couple of weeks ago, the 2026 All-District selections were just recently announced. Nine Vernon Lady Lions made the honor squad. Earning first-team honors were Lily Maxwell, Amari Garcia and Blakeney Downes, while making the second team were Natalyn Gomez, Callie Sanchez and Maddie Sanchez.

The Vernon Tennis Camp continued this morning with almost perfect weather -- partly cloudy skies, cooler temperatures than yesterday, and a breeze. The two early sessions for youngsters from 3 to 10 years of age were full of energy as they went through a variety of drills. Approximately 200 local and area kids are participating in the camp. Wednesday is the last day for the 3 to 10 year old campers, while the 11 to 18 year olds will wrap up camp on Thursday.

Members of the Class of 2026 will be able to pick up their senior packet starting Wednesday, June 10. The packet can be picked up at the VHS office from 8 a.m. to Noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

What a week it was at the Texas Junior High Rodeo Association State Finals for our three VMS students.
Beckett Bayer, Gavin Bayer, and Brazos Eakin each finished in the Top 15 and advanced to the Short Round in their qualifying events.
Beckett and Gavin qualified for the Short Round in Team Roping, while Brazos qualified for the Short Round in Ribbon Roping and Goat Tying.
The Bayer boys finished 4th in the aggregate, earning buckles and prize money. Brazos finished 15th in Ribbon Roping and qualified for the National Junior High Finals Rodeo in Goat Tying, also earning buckles and prize money.
We are incredibly proud of these student-athletes for representing Vernon Middle School so well. Congratulations on an outstanding season, and good luck to Brazos at Nationals in June! 🦁

Approximately 200 youngsters hit the tennis courts this morning at Vernon High School and Vernon College for Day 1 of the Vernon Tennis Camp.

As the summer kicks off please remember youngsters may be spending more time in the home alone, so please make sure you are practicing proper gun safety if there are firearms in the home.
