Pasadena Independent School District

Pasadena ISD held its annual Vanguard Community Service Awards this past Tuesday during the district's monthly board meeting, honoring students who've served the Pasadena community through volunteering. 

Pasadena ISD continues to produce greatness through various educational programs; however, the district focuses on more than an academic background. 

For example, community service plays a huge part in the Pasadena community, and the district highlights how important it is for students to give back to their city. 

Through this point of view, many students throughout the district make it their mission to start thinking about volunteering and serving others than themselves. This shows character and demonstrates beneficial leadership skills that improve a student's life. 

For Pasadena ISD, the reality of volunteering and leadership go hand in hand, and the students who go above and beyond giving back to their community should be honored and celebrated as their efforts have benefited those around them. 

Through their incredible dedication to serving their community, friends, and loved ones, Pasadena ISD couldn't be more proud to honor the top five seniors from all six high schools as they are "Marvels in the Community" in this year's Vanguard Community Service Awards. 

The Vanguard Community Service Awards demonstrate what it means to be active in one's community while recognizing people who have dedicated themselves to promoting community service with honesty and accountability.

Selected by their campus administrators, 30 new faces were awarded this year, earning certificates and goodie bags for their commitment to leadership and success.

Seeing Pasadena ISD high school seniors give back to their city through various forms of community service whether it’s senior citizen and animal care, school organizations, or community events it's truly a beautiful sight to see. 

Over 9,000 hours were accumulated between all thirty students, demonstrating a sense of resilience and devotion to taking on different challenges.

For Pasadena ISD, this builds character within the district as excellence surrounds all students in and outside the classroom.
