The Vanguard Community Service Awards serve as an example of what it means to be an active member of one’s community and also honor those who have dedicated themselves to promoting community service with integrity and responsibility. “Whether it involved volunteering time, actions or talents – these students made a huge positive impact on this community and we are so thankful for their phenomenal volunteer work.” said Pasadena ISD Superintendent of Schools, Dr. DeeAnn Powell. This year, thirty one Vanguard seniors collectively logged over six thousand hours of community service throughout their high school career within Pasadena and its surrounding areas.

generations.” She continued, “We applaud them for their dedication to give back to their community. Along with a medal and a certificate from Pasadena ISD, honorees received gift bags full of items donated by community sponsors such as Premiere Worldwide Investigations, Chick-Fil-A, Chevron Pasadena Refinery, and Whataburger.
