Dear Friends of William B. Travis Academy/Vanguard for the Academically Talented & Gifted:

On behalf of the PTA, we are pleased to announce the 2023 Travis Spring Social and Auction which will be held on April 27, 2023.  

William B. Travis houses two of Dallas ISD’s magnet schools. It serves students in grades four and five in the vanguard and grades six through eight in the academy. Students must apply to the school, and admission is based on students’ academic achievement. The school serves approximately 500 students from all over Dallas. Both schools are rated exemplary by the Texas Education Agency.

Travis has become a premier destination for children and families from across the city—a hub for accelerated education, community spirit, and excellence. The faculty provides enhanced and challenging curricula in language arts, foreign languages, math, science, social studies, humanities, and computer science. Fine arts instruction at Travis includes band, orchestra, drama, and art. 

The student body is ethnically diverse, which affords opportunities for children to experience an enriched and cooperative environment. Individuality and teamwork are both celebrated in creative ways that stimulate active and inquisitive minds. We are committed to remain one of the most recognized academic schools in Texas.
