District 9 Schools: Destination Upward!

Elite News September 20, 2019 5

District 9 Trustee Justin Henry | September 2019 Dallas ISD continues to show strong gains in academic achievement as measured by the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) A through F accountability system. With a five-point gain, the district has earned a “B” for the second year in a row, an increase from 81 to 86 points. FiftyTrustee Henry seven percent of all district schools earned an A or B in Dallas ISD’s Local Accountability System, which holds schools to higher standards than even TEA. The A-F grades are a snapshot of how well schools are meeting the needs of students, whether a school is growing its students, how teachers, staff and parents rate their schools, and what students think about their school’s instruction, engagement and culture.

TEA accolades in District 9: Several District 9 schools are rightly celebrating their new ratings. Congratulations to these schools’ devoted teachers and administrators, students and parents for your effort and hard work.

Irma Rangel Young Women’s Leadership School A rating with 98 points | Booker T. Washington HSPVA A rating with 91 points | Henry B. Gonzalez Elementary A rating with 90 points | Charles Rice Learning Center A rating with 90 points There is a special sense of pride at Martin Luther King Jr. Learning Center where students achieved tremendous academic growth—rising from an “F” to a “B” school this year. The improvement is among the most impressive academic turnarounds in the district. A member of the Accelerating Campus Initiative, or ACE program, King is set to become an exploratory arts campus next school year, affording students the opportunity to explore piano, dance, vocal music and visual art starting as early as pre-K. Board members have acted to reward staff at another ACE campus. At Billy Dade Middle School,

teacher leaders, administrators, counselors and librarians at are sharing in $240,000 in stipends approved by board members. The stipends are incentives designed to retain effective campus leaders at schools where they are most needed.

In other campus news: Debaters from Irma Rangel Young Women’s Leadership School placed in the top 16 schools in the recent Plano Senior Debate Tournament.

Seniors Valerie Gutierrez and (first-timer) Da’Shayla Ford played prominent roles in the competition. When “Tina: The Tina Turner Musical” opens on Broadway in November, Rangel student Skye Turner will be onstage performing as a young version of the musical legend.

Students at John Ireland Elementary and Piedmont Global Middle School have each launched new orchestra programs on campus. To support reading in grades 1-3, Ireland is joining forces with Catch Up and Read and Readers2Leaders to promote its early learners.

At CityLab High School, ninth-grader Immanuel Brinson was awarded a bronze medal in the NAACP ACT-SO National Competition for his memorial design project based on civil rights leader Asa Philip Randolph. The project was created in cooperation with Perkins+Will Architects.

CityLab 10th-graders have designed a mural as a community-based art project funded by Downtown Dallas, Inc. and the CityLab High School Foundation. The piece, “Zeal, Zest, Verve” will take shape this fall.

Mark your calendar for the 2019 College Fair Dallas ISD is sponsoring our FREE annual Districtwide College Fair, 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 18, at Ellis Davis Field House.

This is a major opportunity for 11th and 12thgraders to meet college representatives, ask questions and collect information about admissions and financial aid. All high school counselors are signing up students to attend and receive free transportation.

HONOR IN YOUR HOMETOWN

BY CEDRIC SCOTT

It’s always a pleasure to come back to your hometown where you have friends and family there who know and care about you. It would be like when you lived out of town and you come back for a reunion or Cedric J. Scott celebration for a certain event. The excitement and anxiousness of arriving to see people you have had fun with in the past, brings super memories to share forever. That’s what is happening on Saturday, September 28th, 2019. When the Grambling State and Prairie View A & M football players who are from the DFW Metroplex are coming home to play each other in the State Fair Classic of Black College Football. I want to take time out and list a few players from each University that will play in this big rivalry. Starting with Grambling State University who has 6 players from the metro area.

List Of The Tigers Names: 1.) #98 Cody Dillard , A Junior from Allen, Tx. and Tyler JC. 2.) # 36 William Savala, A freshman from Carter HS 3.) #23 Keilon Elder, RS Freshman from Duncanville HS 4.) #72 Juac Angoi, RS Sophomore from Bishop Lynch HS 5.) #92 Wesley Green, RS Sophmore from Desoto HS 6.) Zach Williams, Freshman from Desoto HS. Prairie View has 23 players from the metro area. List Of The Panthers Names: 1.) #11 Tristen Wallace, RS Junior from Desoto HS. 2.) #12 Jalen Morton, RS Senior from Arlington Seguin HS 3.) #14 Trazon Connley, RS Freshman from Duncanville HS 4.) #14 Shayne Lawrence, Freshman from Cedar Hill HS 5.) #22 Drake Cheatum, Sophmore from Mesquite HS 6.) #24 Reggie Stubblefield, Senior from Arlington Sam Houston 7.) #25 Willie Miles III Sophmore from Mansfield Timberview 8.) #26 Ju’Anthony Parker, Senior from South Oak Cliff HS 9.) #28 Caleb Brown, Senior from Rockwall HS 10.) #29 Bernard Goodwater, Junior from Carter HS 11.) #31

Logan Jackson, Sophmore from West Mesquite HS 12.) #38 Reginald Peck, Sophmore from Bishop Dunne HS 13.) #43 Carl Davis III, RS Freshman from Desoto HS 14.) #44 Justin Jones, Senior from St. Marks School Of Texas 15.) #48 Jaylon Wooten RS Junior from South Oak Cliff HS 16.) #50 DeJohn Jones, Junior from Lakeview Centennial HS 17.) #51 Desmond Calloway, Sophmore from South Oak Cliff HS 18.) #58 Desmond Obi, Junior from Mesquite Poteet HS 19.) #59 Trevion Green, Freshman from Everman HS 20.) #60 Arrington Taylor, Freshman from South Oak Cliff HS 21.) #66 Arundel Briggs, Freshman from Waxahachie HS 22.) #69 Roderick Smith, RS Senior from Desoto Hs/Utah St 23.) #80 Marvin Young Jr., Freshman from Fort Worth Nolan Catholic HS. So you never know how your support inspires a young player in college. I will share two examples of this type of honor. The first one is the quarterback Devante Kincade. He went to Skyline High School, then received a scholarship to Ole Miss and later transferred to Grambling State University where he wanted to be closer to home and it panned out for him and the family.

He led the tigers to 2 SWAC Championships and later signed with Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL. The second example is Adrian Hamilton, who played football at Carter High School, went to Texas Tech, transferred to Prairie View A & M to play ball his junior and senior year. In which he later signed with the Dallas Cowboys then the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL. So Congratulations to all these young men who are honored by all of us who understands the big game of football. For the winner of this matchup usually determines who gets the front seat to win the west division of the SWAC Conference. So when you add life skills, academics and teamwork together, the result is a usually a well equipped man capable of serving any community. Now that brings me to this, a reminder of upcoming events leading to the State Fair Classic Football Game at 4:00pm on Saturday, September 28th, 2019.

Line Up of Events Monday, September 23rd ,2019 11:00AM PVU VS Grambling State Press Conference Held In The City Hall Flag Room Address: 1500 Marilla St Dallas,TX 75201 Friday, September 27th, 2019 7:00AM Celebrity Golf Classic At Cedar Crest Golf Course 1800 Southerland Ave Dallas, Tx 75203 Friday, September 27th,2019 at 6:30PM Prairie View A & M University Alumni Scholarship Gala At Renaissance Hotel 2222 N.

Let’s Talk Basics By: Brian Eberstein

know you’ve heard this as I’ve said it many times but car crashes change lives.

How about if you didn’t Brian Eberstein have a car ?

How about your not being able to take the kids to school, go to the grocery store, go see your family and friends. Right. That’s exactly what happens when some idiot on the phone runs into you and the idiot has no insurance. How about your not being able to go to work and you either have no vacation time at all or you’ve used it up. How about those bills piling up that must be paid.

Right. No paycheck because of that same thoughtless idiot without insurance or, and this is a big or, the idiot has insurance and that idiot is also a liar and lies to the insurance company about what happened and how the crash occurred. Ok, your saying, how to fix these problems or try. 1) When you’re in a car crash, you need the police. How to get them ? Call 911 and ask.

Now. Unless you’re a doctor or otherwise medically trained,

please don’t guess about whether you’re hurt. Your adrenaline is rushing through you and that is as big a mask of injury as any mask you’ve seen at Halloween. No guessing. Please. Tell 911 you need medical attention because you do. That typically means police are coming. 2) If anyone stops and says they saw what happened, get their name and number. That is also a must as the idiot may say he or she is sorry at the scene but later ? He or she says you ran the red light. How do I know ? I’ve seen that happen 1000 times. More, actually. 3) After you’ve called 911, your family and got the names and numbers of any witnesses, call me. Brian Eberstein. 800 653 7246. 800 Old School. Yes. I’m answering the phone. Yes, we’ll go over what happened and I’ll help with anything you’ve perhaps forgotten. These are the basics. I hope you’re never in a car crash.

If it happens, I’m here to help.
