“Good is the enemy of great
“Good is the enemy of great. And that is one of the key reasons why we have so little that becomes great. We don’t have great schools because we have good schools. We don’t have great government, principally because we have good government. Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life. The vast majority of companies never become great , precisely because the vast majority become quite good – and that is their main problem.” Jim Collins That is also the main problem that the majority of our public schools face.

Veribest Independent School District
Mission Statement The Veribest Independent School District, as a safe and enjoyable center of learning, will provide for each child an education to reach his/her full potential through the interactive involvement of students, parents, staff and community members.
