Dear Van Gogh Secondary (6th-10th grade) Parents and Guardians, We would like to inform you of several IMPORTANT changes regarding our upcoming Award Assemblies. Due to construction beginning earlier than expected for our new Vanguard Van Gogh ECHS campus, the following changes have been made to ensure we remain on schedule with our project timeline: • Each award assembly will now begin ONE HOUR LATER than the originally scheduled time. • The venue has changed from our campus library to the Pharr Research and Development Center located at 850 W. Dicker Rd., Pharr, TX 78577. • Due to limited seating capacity at the new venue, each student will be allowed to bring ONLY TWO guests. • Students will be transported to and from the venue by school bus. Parents do NOT need to provide transportation for their children and may head directly to the Pharr Research and Development Center for the event. We understand these are major adjustments, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this exciting time for our campus. While these changes may create some inconvenience, we are thrilled that construction on our new school has officially begun ahead of schedule. Thank you in advance for your continued support and flexibility. We look forward to celebrating our students’ accomplishments with you.

Van Gogh ECHS would like to recognize Angel Gonzalez and Rene Lucero for joining Raphael Garcia on his state solo and ensemble choir competition and learning the process alongside him. We hope this experience inspires them to take the leap and compete next school year! Congratulations to all on this outstanding accomplishment! 🎤🏅

Please help us congratulate Raphael Garcia on earning a Silver Award in Solo & Ensemble Choir! 🎶👏 Raphael has made Van Gogh ECHS history as the FIRST and ONLY student from our campus to compete at this level — and to bring home this award. We are incredibly proud of his hard work, courage, and dedication. A special thank you to Mrs. Vega for her unwavering support and for preparing Raphael for this competition. Her passion for music and commitment to her students truly make a difference, and we are grateful to have her as part of our team.

We are so proud of the creative projects our scholars showcased during our GT Showcase! Their dedication to researching topics they are passionate about and confidently sharing their findings made this a truly special moment to celebrate. Thank you to our students, families, and staff for supporting and encouraging curiosity, creativity, and innovation in our GT program! 💙💛

Estimados Padres y Tutores,

Queremos informarles sobre varios cambios IMPORTANTES relacionados con nuestras próximas Asambleas de Premiación.

Debido a que la construcción de nuestro nuevo campus Vanguard Van Gogh ECHS comenzó antes de lo esperado, se han realizado los siguientes cambios para asegurar que continuemos conforme al calendario del proyecto:

• Cada asamblea de premiación comenzará UNA HORA MÁS TARDE de la hora originalmente programada.
• La ubicación ha cambiado de nuestra biblioteca escolar al Pharr Research and Development Center, ubicado en 850 W. Dicker Rd., Pharr, TX 78577.
• Debido a la capacidad limitada del nuevo lugar, cada estudiante podrá traer SOLAMENTE DOS invitados.
• Los estudiantes serán transportados hacia y desde el evento en autobús escolar. Los padres NO necesitan proporcionar transporte para sus hijos y pueden dirigirse directamente al Pharr Research and Development Center para el evento.

Entendemos que estos son cambios importantes y agradecemos sinceramente su paciencia y comprensión durante este emocionante momento para nuestra escuela. Aunque estos cambios puedan causar algunos inconvenientes, estamos muy emocionados de que la construcción de nuestra nueva escuela haya comenzado antes de lo previsto.

Gracias de antemano por su continuo apoyo y flexibilidad. Esperamos celebrar los logros de nuestros estudiantes junto con ustedes.

Good afternoon, Royal Parents,
Please encourage your child to complete their TSI practice tests on EdSpire. Students must score 80% or higher two times in a row to qualify to retest.
Passing the TSI can help save money in the long run and helps ensure students are college ready.
We will be testing again before the end of the school year. Thank you for your support!

Dear Van Gogh Secondary Parents,

You are invited to our GT Showcase on Thursday, May 14th, from 5:00–6:00 PM.

Please join us in supporting our Royals and enjoy the opportunity to watch them showcase their talents, creativity, and hard work.

We hope to see you there!
