Vernon ISD

Vernon ISD will be conducting a safety training drill Friday morning at one of our campuses. This will be an active shooter safety training drill that will involve local law enforcement, the fire department and EMS. If you live around one of our campuses, please note that Friday morning you may hear sirens and possibly gunfire. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but this type of drill is essential as we work to maintain a safe and prepared school environment.

Today was the last day of the Vernon Baseball Camp and Vernon Softball Camp. Here are a few scenes from today's action.
