District 6
Hello, again, D6.
It’s hard to believe the school year is almost over. I know how much heart and hard work everyone, from teachers and administrators to students and families, poured into getting to this point. And for many of you, that journey ends with the joy of walking across the graduation stage.
To our amazing D6 seniors — congratulations! You’ve hit a huge milestone, and I hope you take a moment, even in the middle of all the excitement and chaos of these last few weeks, to really soak it in and feel proud. Some of you are off to college, others jumping right into the workforce, but no matter where you’re headed next, I know you’re ready for whatever comes your way. After all, you’re about to be proud Dallas ISD alums!
Whether starting pre-K, high school, or anywhere in between, our students are ending one chapter and preparing for another. I am reminded of this verse from The Collected Poems by Langston Hughes: “Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow.”
Passion is the fuel for everything you do in life, and Dallas ISD is committed to helping our students find it. We offer so many programs and opportunities for you to explore, and take pride in empowering our students to follow their dreams. With a dream and passion, you will go far in life, and Dallas ISD is excited to watch you grow.
Congratulations, new National Honor Society members: The recent induction of several Justin F. Kimball High School basketball players into the National Honor Society is a shining example of what it means to lead with heart and discipline, both on the court and in the classroom. With GPAs of 3.5 or higher, these student-athletes show us that true excellence knows no boundaries.
