Last week, we had the honor of celebrating National School Bus Safety Week! 🚌💛
A huge thank you to our incredible Transportation Department for keeping our students safe every day — whether it’s transporting them across campuses, to and from school, STC classes, or athletic events. Thank you for helping us move forward safely! 😊
Meet Manuel Haro, a bright and dedicated 6th grader at Monet Elementary who proudly maintains an all “A” Honor Roll. Known for his kindness, strong faith, and positive attitude, Manuel has a passion for Math and a natural curiosity about how things work—especially cars.
Outside the classroom, he enjoys playing soccer with friends and demonstrates excellent teamwork both on and off the field. Manuel dreams of becoming a mechanical engineer and attending Dartmouth College, where he hopes to combine his love of learning and innovation to make the world a better place.
Keep shining, Manuel! 💫

In preparation for the Lights On Afterschool celebration, students at Beethoven Secondary spent the week building an interactive light cube using RGB LEDs that responds to touch by lighting up in different colors. Afterschool programs like ACE are crucial because they provide students with opportunities to explore STEAM concepts beyond the classroom, develop critical thinking and collaboration skills, and engage in meaningful, real-world projects that inspire curiosity and innovation. Activities like the light cube project show how afterschool learning fosters both academic growth and personal development, preparing students for future success.
🎉🌟Today we celebrate Mrs. Angelica Martinez, our incredible Principal at Mozart P-TECH in Alamo! Her hard work lights the way for our 6–12th grade students every single day. 💙📚 Your dedication, vision, and leadership inspire our entire school community! 🙌

Since its start in 2004, this month has focused on educating and empowering digital citizens to stay safe online. Today, in 2025, an estimated 85–95% of successful cyber breaches are caused by human error — a powerful reminder that we are the first line of defense.
In education, protecting our students, staff, and information is essential.
✅ Stay alert

By working together and staying cyber aware, we help create a safer online environment for our schools and communities. 🛡️

Thank you, Mrs. Alvarez, for your passionate leadership 💙 and dedication to our Vanguard community and Gladiator family 🛡️. Your vision continues to inspire us all ✨.
Six students are gaining hands-on experience by interning with Beethoven Early College High School's security team, while two others (not pictured) have secured internships with local law firms—a fantastic opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world practice.
In addition, all students participated in an insightful presentation from the Edinburg Municipal Court, where they learned about bullying, juvenile court procedures, the effects of drug use, and truancy. These lessons are helping them deepen their understanding of the law and the importance of their roles in the community.
We’re incredibly proud of these Gladiators for taking meaningful steps toward their future careers!
