National Counselors Week February 2-6, 2026
February is Black History Month, and this year’s theme is “A Century of Black History Commemorations.”

Vanguard Academy proudly joins in celebrating the many contributions of African American leaders, scholars, and innovators who continue to shape our world—from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose leadership advanced civil rights and justice; Thurgood Marshall, the first Black U.S. Supreme Court Justice; and Katherine Johnson, whose brilliance helped launch NASA’s space missions.

We are only as strong as all of us—together. This month and always, we celebrate excellence, resilience, and impact.
