Don't forget about our College Night with the VHS Counseling Department tonight at 6:30 PM!!! All Junior and Senior parents are encouraged to attend!


Attention Freshman: October 10, 2023 Tyler Junior College will be here to get you signed up for the TJC Promise. We encourage you all to sign up for this great opportunity. Even if you are sure of what college you will be attending, it's still a good idea to sign up for a free opportunity with TJC. You never know what changes will happen between now and your senior year.
To be prepared I have listed things that you will need to know the day of sign ups.
● Home address
● Parents name
● Parents phone number
● Your email address (personal email, not your school email)
● Parents email address (if you don’t have personal email)
If you have any questions, TJC will be happy to help you at that time and I am also always here for you, too.
Thanks,
Mrs. Wood
Librarian Media Specialist

Instead of “binging” a Netflix show, 9th and 10th graders in Mrs. Richardson's English class are “binging” short stories! 📚🤩
Students rotated around the room previewing six different short stories with their groups before picking one to annotate and study! 📝
