We kicked off the 2025–2026 school year with a very special initiative: Vision 2036 ✨—Vanguard’s roadmap for the next 10 years! This plan helps us continue serving our students with excellence while completing projects across the district to strengthen their educational experience 📚🏫.
Today, we were thrilled to see part of that vision come to life at the Mozart Early Childhood Center groundbreaking 🎉🏗️ in Alamo, opening August 2026! This new center will give our youngest learners a strong foundation for a lifetime of growth and learning 🌱💡.
Early childhood education is a critical stage in a child’s development 🧠❤️. These years shape essential cognitive, social, and physical skills that foster academic success and a lifelong love of learning. We are proud to provide a welcoming and enriching environment where our youngest students can thrive 🌟.
We were overjoyed to see our community come together to celebrate this milestone—from parents and staff to students and community partners 👏🤝. Check out the highlights from this exciting event in the link below! 📸
