VVUHSD- Student Services

SHOUT OUT and THANK YOU to all of the VVUHSD School Counselors! We appreciate all of your hard work in setting up students for success throughout their educational journey so that they are able to flourish beyond. Your work matters! We hope you had an amazing week.

Black Wall Street...once a beautiful and prosperous district in Tulsa, OK where Black people owned land, property, and successful businesses. This all came to an end when this village was destroyed. Learn more about Black Wall Street by visiting the History.com.

Today we celebrate African heritage and all of generations that have contributed to such a rich and fruitful culture and history. Remember "It takes a village" and we are all in this together for the betterment of us all. @VVUHSD

Exciting news! The VVUHSD Student Services' proposal was accepted and approved. We enjoy the advocacy work we do for our students and families, and we are elated to let everyone know about the good work happening around VVUHSD as it pertains to our most at-promise populations. 💙

Today we highlight a female with exceptional abilities who continues to make a mark for those who have exceptional needs. Claudia Gordon is the first deaf Black female attorney with a list of contributions to our country and abroad.

Celebrating our diversity with the idea that all of us are beautiful in our own right. Embrace the differences we have and use it as a learning tool. Affirming that you all matter regardless of how you identify. You belong, you are included, you are loved.

Have you ever thought about the Black influence and contribution to the country music genre? Check out one of the early artists and his legacy left with other musicians who played at the Grand Ole Opry and beyond. (Source: National Geographic "Black History in Country Music")

Belonging, connectedness, and love...take some time to learn a little about the Divine Nine! Who are they? What do they stand for? How can you get involved as a middle school or high school student?
