We've been having a blast catching up with our alumni, and we're not done! We recently caught up with @vvhs_monsoon graduate Abigail Rice! After graduating in 2020, she attended Northern Arizona University, where she received a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. In 2025, Abigail began working as a STC Paraprofessional for 1st-3rd grade. Now Abigail is a 4th grade ELA teacher preparing for her first year in Dysart's Ready2Teach Educator Preparation Program (EPP) at @aparangers! "I have been a part of the Dysart Unified School District since the 3rd grade, so I am very excited to embark on my career in the same place that shaped me!" Abigail said.
As we approach our Nation's 250th Anniversary, we'll first commemorate the adoption of the American Flag 249 years ago on June 14th, 1777. While the 50-Star pattern we know today is the longest-running version, Old Glory has undergone 27 official changes! πΊπ²
The class of 2023 is checking in! You might recognize @vvhs_monsoon graduate Dominic Tizzano from the pitchers mound, and while he may not be playing for the Monsoon anymore, he still has love for the game of baseball. Dominic has committed to playing Division I baseball for the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff! There, he plans to receive a degree with a focus on teaching Physical Education. Dominic looks to continue to be involved in the sport as a coach once he finishes his playing career!
