BECOME A SPONSOR/PARTNER
Our school is one of the 100 best schools in Dallas County and has amazingly dedicated teachers and staff that give their best to ensure our scholars have a great learning experience. However, there is still work to be done, needs to be met, and opportunities yet to be provided to our scholars. Every one of us can come together to support our kids and help ensure they each graduate prepared for college or career.
Become a sponsor or partner with our school by donating or giving your time as a mentor or volunteer. We understand everyone has a busy schedule but investing in our scholars is a great way to make sure everyone's future looks bright.
For more information on the specific needs in our campus and how you can contribute to our mission and goals please contact Ms. Montana at (972) 794-2816, lmontana@dallasisd.org
