Comprehensive Plan Survey
Middle School Career Expo
On behalf of the Duncanville ISD Career and Technical Education Advisory Board, we would like to invite you to participate in the district’s Middle School Career Expo. Your participation will help current DISD eighth graders begin plans for their high school career. Your generosity and partnership in the education of today’s youth will improve the quality of the workforce for the future.
This year’s fair is Thursday, February 6, 2025 at Hilton Garden Inn Dallas/Duncanville. At the expo, you will have the opportunity to enlighten eighth graders about their future education and career choices. Students will be asking about education and skills needed in these careers to be successful. This information will help them begin to choose what classes to take in high school, and what to look for in a university or technical school after they earn their high school diploma.
February 6th at the Hilton Garden Inn in Duncanville.
8:00a – 9:25a booth set up and Breakfast
