Dr. David Vroonland Vanguard High School
Mesquite, Texas
Summer 2021
Designed to resemble a high-tech office complex rather than a traditional high school, Mesquite ISD's Vanguard High School serves 2,000 students from across the district. Unlike other high schools in the district, Vanguard focuses solely on academics and career or college preparation, offering no extracurricular programs like fine arts or athletics. The campus is divided into four specialized schools: the School of Engineering, the School of Technology, the School of Construction Science, and the School of Health Sciences.
