"We Always Seek the Best" - October 2022
GREETINGS FROM E-TECH ADMINISTRATOR
Greetings Kimball Collegiate Scholars, Teachers and Parents,
We are moving swiftly during fall 2022 semester as we end the 1st nine week marking period. Thank you to our collegiate scholars for the hard and smart work that was displayed so far. The beginning of the school year can be challenging and fast paced, but the first phase is complete. Many students were very successful with college courses and their high school academic plans. Our collegiate teachers and staff have worked diligently through classroom instruction, tutoring, professional development, and Dallas College facilitating to prepare collegiate scholars for excellence. We still have more work and months in front of us before fall semester ends. Let’s make our remaining months successful, great and extraordinary. Scholars, remember that your character means everything. Be resilient and persevere in all that you do. Justin F. Kimball ETECH Collegiate is the best place to be. We seek the best…whatever is necessary.
Dr. Leavetta J. Sasser

Greetings! It is my pleasure to be a Kimball Knight!!
I am proud of my 28 years of teaching experience. I am a Business Education Educator, by profession, and I retired in June of 2021. I am excited to re-enter the profession and offer my knowledge and skills to benefit the students in the collegiate program, by way of the MAPS course. In addition to experience in the Garland, Cedar Hill and Midland Independent School Districts, my last 20 years have been with Dallas ISD. My work has been at North Dallas HS, Conrad HS, and my last 6 years were at Skyline!
I've got my second wind and look forward to new beginnings as a Knight!
