VISD students get a 3-day weekend this week, as there are no classes on Monday, Nov. 10, due to it being a Professional Development Day for teachers and staff.
This Friday is a scheduled Early Release Friday for Vernon ISD. We hope our students enjoy getting a head start on their weekend.
Wednesday afternoon KAUZ-TV was on hand at the Lions' practice and presented Ty Scott with their "Game Changer" award for this week. Ty received the honor for his work last week in Vernon's 28-14 victory over Iowa Park, as well as for the season, as he has over 1,700 yards of total offense heading into the regular-season finale this week. He has also thrown 6 TDs, while rushing for 7 additional scores. Congratulations Ty!!
