Montanez: Something special is happening in Vanguard Academy

Vanguard Academy was recently featured for their successful GEAR UP initiatives, including the various community partners they have engaged with this year. Diana Garza-Farias, executive director of the RGV Literacy Center, shared, “The Vanguard Academy GEAR UP Program and the Rio Grande Valley Literacy Center partnership has been a resounding success for both organizations and, of course, for GEAR UP Parents. Parents are receiving an education that will make a big difference for their families financially. Under the instruction of The Center’s staff, they are taking the opportunity either to learn workforce-related English six hours a week or to study towards earning their GED certificate.” Vanguard Academy continues to share their successes online and through various professional development opportunities.
