Congratulations to Venus High School student and award winning baseball player, Hayden Stanford, on earning a scholarship to attend Tarleton State University in the Fall of 2016!  We are proud of your hard work and dedication to excellence both in the classroom and on the baseball diamond, and know that the qualities that make you a model Bulldog will serve you well as a Texan.  We wish you the best of luck as you further your education after graduation!

​Well done Bulldogs!  Your hard work is greatly appreciated!

Coach Brittney Chavez and her VHS Dual credit students are accomplishing far more than earning college credit in high school. As a part of a service learning project, the students chose to serve the residents of Venus Retirement Village. At Halloween they visited, played games, and handed out goody bags, while at Thanksgiving they organized a dinner with residents and the Venus Police Department.  We are proud that our Venus Bulldogs are making a positive impact on the lives of others through service. Thank you to the Venus Police Department and the Venus Retirement Village for partnering with our students to enrich their learning and to help make our community great.
