Get the EDGE

The EDGE program is back for 2010-2011

The EDGE program is about guiding high school youth in making decisions for their lives in the real world. Students with limited opportunity and exposure are taken outside their environments to connect what they learn in the classroom to real world people and places. The program offers academic, social, and career development.

There is no cost to participate. Students must be in high school and reside within Dallas County.
