Dr. David Vroonland Vanguard High School
Mesquite, TX
Summer 2021
Envisioned to look more like a high tech office complex than a traditional high school, this new concept serves 2,000 students from all over the Mesquite School District. Unlike the District's traditional high schools, Mesquite ISD’s Dr. David Vroonland Vanguard High School does not offer extracurricular programs like fine arts and athletics; rather, the curriculum is intensely focused on academics and career or college preparation.
The campus features four schools and the following programs:
School of Engineering: auto collision; auto tech; engineering, robotics and logistics
School of Technology: computer programming; graphic design; visualization and animation
School of Construction Science: architecture and construction technology
School of Health Sciences: dental assistant; EMT; medical assistant; pharmacy technician; sports medicine; simulation lab with nurse desk; and firefighter simulation.
