From Dean Elsasser
Vanguard Parents and Students,
We finished our first week strong, and we couldn't be prouder of our Vanguard students, staff, and parents. Thank you for helping us look professional this week as we implemented some new safety and security procedures. These procedures directly align with our vision to TRANSFORM | ENGAGE | and IMPACT students' lives. We are proud that you are a part of the Vanguard family.
Sincerely
Clint Elsasser

Student ID Badges
Students are required to have Student ID badges visible at all times, this is for the safety of the students and Vanguard High School Campus. If students do not have a ID badge they will be charged $5 for a replacement. This includes if a student scratches off picture, puts a sticker over the original pictures or in some way alters the original picture on the ID Badge.
Thank you for helping us keep your student and Vanguard High School safe
