Sharing the best kept secret in DISD.

Homework? Why yes, they give us a little homework. Excuse me while I pack my backpack...

Home Page for an Awesome Gr. 4-8 School

William B. Travis Vanguard and Academy for the Academically Talented and Gifted.

Though that is the full and complete name of the school, it is generally called by the simpler title of Travis TAG. Travis TAG is two school programs in one building: Intermediate (4-5) and Middle School (6-8).

 

The purpose of this website is to be yet another method of getting the word out about the wonderful program at Travis. The Friends of Travis TAG know that the future success of our favorite school rests squarely on getting the best students. We can’t GET the best students if they haven’t heard of us.

 

Obviously, you’re looking for new possibilities for your child. Take a few minutes and check out the site. If what you see intrigues you even a little bit, call the school itself and arrange a tour.
