Each year, Pasadena ISD salutes the Vanguard Community Service honorees for their contributions to the areas where they live.

While the educational program in Pasadena ISD strives for academic excellence, it also encourages students to make positive contributions in their community.  Students who go beyond normal expectations should be recognized for such contributions.  Therefore, the Pasadena ISD Vanguard Community Service Awards are given to the top five seniors at each high school who share a commitment and sense of responsibility for their families, peers, community and country. Honorees are selected by their campus administrators because they are outstanding models of citizenship and leadership.
