🌟 Exciting News at Vanguard Academy! 🌟

Vanguard will soon benefit from a brand-new sensory room which was designed alongside feedback from students like Linda Gomez’s two sons who are incoming seventh graders with autism.

This room will help them regulate and manage their PTSD, autism, and ADHD symptoms.

Superintendent Dr. Narciso Garcia shared that this addition has been years in the making, with input from staff, parents, and students.

The sensory room, a first for Vanguard campuses, will serve students from fifth to twelfth grade.

Construction is set to begin soon, ready for the 2024-2025 school year.
