The Vision XXI Class of 2026 Has Officially Left Its Mark on Harker Heights!

This past Saturday, as the City celebrated the Grand Reopening of Kern Park, the Vision XXI Class of 2026 proudly unveiled its class project: a beautiful Pollinator Garden that will welcome visitors, support local wildlife, and serve as a lasting symbol of leadership and community collaboration.

Over the past year, our class dreamed, planned, fundraised, planted, and worked together to bring this vision to life. What began as an idea has blossomed into something truly special—and none of it would have been possible without the incredible generosity of our sponsors.

A special thank you to:
