OCTOBER AT DHS

Build Texas Proud Expo

We visited Dallas College Coppell Center on October 3rd to see a construction expo! Students experienced hands-on opportunities such as caulking, cutting wood, and welding. Various employers and universities were present at the expo to meet with students and answer questions.

 

DHS TRIO Student of the Month – October

Carlos Ramirez (11) is our Student of the Month! Carlos has displayed strong leadership skills by recruiting his friends and peers into the program, assisting us in making TRIO posters to hang around school, and volunteering to help us at events. He has great TRIO spirit and we are excited to recognize him this month!

 

Trunk or Treat @ DHS

DHS Talent Search participated in the Bronco Madness Trunk or Treat to garner support for the basketball team! We had tons of eager volunteers who helped pack candy bags, interacted with kids, and decorated our trunk.

Class representatives at DHS volunteered their time to help recruit more students for TRIO! Pictured from left to right are Skyelar Hester (12th), Ava Dennis (11th), and Briseida Chavarria (12th). These ladies practiced their public speaking skills as they talked to students and their families about what TRIO is and how we work.
