🎉 This past week, three of our Career and Technical Education (CTE) students represented Vanguard Academy at the Texas State Capitol! 🏛️
Jillian Rodriguez, a senior at Beethoven ECHS; Regina Garza, an 11th grader at Mozart P-TECHS; and Violeta Medrano, a 12th grader at Rembrandt P-TECHS, had the opportunity to participate in RGV LEAD’s Young Leaders Summit.
During the summit, our students attended a State Board of Education (SBOE) meeting where they not only met local and state representatives such as Judge Sandra Avila Ramirez and Judge Randy Ortega 🤝, but also presented on the importance of CTE in the Rio Grande Valley and how Vanguard Academy is making an impact by supporting our local workforce 💼. Through our CTE Department, students can choose from 11 programs of study, including, but not limited to, health science 🩺, criminal justice ⚖️, and welding 🔧.
👏 Thank you, Jillian, Regina, and Violeta, for being a voice in today’s society, for proudly representing Vanguard Academy and the Valley in Austin, and, above all, for the passion you bring to everything you do. 💙
🌟 These are opportunities our students will remember for a lifetime. Thank you to RGV LEAD for making this possible and for supporting us in developing the leaders of tomorrow, because partnerships matter 🤝✨
