Last week, Donna North High School Vet Tech Program students took their learning into the real world, meeting with local municipalities, regional representatives, and community leaders to discuss developing a veterinary tech facility at Donna North High School.
The conversations support students’ goal of expanding hands-on learning through ongoing clinics, increasing the impact of spay and neuter services for the community while strengthening their real-world training. Students also gained valuable experience by practicing professional communication, presenting their ideas, and seeing how their career pathway can make a meaningful difference.
We are proud of how they represented Donna ISD with confidence, knowledge, and heart. Community support continues to show our students that their goals matter.
