Pinkston PREP
Week of January 7
Message from Mr. Perla
Pinkston Family,
Happy New Year! I hope that you were able to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate with family, friends and loved ones.
ACP scores are in! These scores are a reflection of the quality of instruction that is occurring in your classrooms. Take a moment to celebrate the accomplishments and begin creating an action plan for the areas in which improvement is needed.
Thank you for making Pinkston PREP an exciting and dynamic place to learn, work and grow. I look forward to a rewarding second semester and I am confident that together, we will continue to INSPIRE A LEGACY OF INFLUENCE!
It is my absolute honor and privilege to continue to serve our West Dallas Community!
Together We Succeed!

Industry Partners
On Monday, December 17th Haynes and Boone, LLP hosted nearly 100 students from the Pinkston PTECH program. At the event, the students had the opportunity to have lunch with attorneys and fellow industry partners and learn from local community leaders. Our speakers included John Turner, member-elect for the Texas State House of Representatives for District 114, and Nathan Johnson, member-elect for the Texas State Senate for District 16. This event was a great opportunity for the students to learn about leadership, community involvement, and civic responsibility.
Students also received an office tour and a round table discussion with Haynes and Boone, LLP partners. The students were impressive, as always! We heard nothing but rave reviews (from both the attorneys and legislators).
