Van ISD is blessed to have a storied tradition of success on the fields and courts of athletic competition. Teams and individuals from multiple sports have competed for state championships and have experienced tremendous achievements throughout the years. Van is a special place to attend school and participate in athletics, and we hope that our players truly understand the positive aspects of competing in a community such as Van. Student athletes here are fortunate to have incredible support displayed by loyal Vandal fans. The experience of representing their school and community as athletes is rewarding, as memories are made that will last a lifetime. We believe that athletics is an integral part of the total education process that goes beyond the four walls of the classroom and creates an entirely different type of learning environment. There are few better venues to learn the values of pride, poise, class, accountability, integrity, teamwork and hard work. High expectations are placed on our teams and competitors. Van athletes play hard and tough, while displaying unwavering fight and determination. That is the core foundation that has led to past accomplishments and will continue to lead to future success. WE ARE VAN!
