Van Vleck ISD is one of twelve Texas school districts to be recognized for their outstanding programs with the release of Texas School Business magazine’s 17th Annual Bragging Rights 2023-24 special issue.
Van Vleck’s “Greenhouse Project” came to fruition with community support from Vibrance Health and Moonbow Farms owner Jason Coleman.
