Investing in great educators is one of the best investments we can make in our students.
We’re proud of our Vanguard team for participating in the Baylor School of Education’s Catalyze conference, where educators from across the region gathered to learn, collaborate, and grow as leaders.
The conference holds special meaning for our school community. Former Vanguard Head of School Dr. Linda Tinsley shared that she and her husband, Jack, chose to endow Catalyze because, as she put it, “this is the kind of professional learning I wanted as an educational leader.”
We’re grateful for the vision and generosity of the Tinsleys and for opportunities like Catalyze that empower educators to continue learning, leading, and making a difference for students every day.
