A big thanks to the seven Texas Tech Health Center staffers who visited our school last week, to share information on the free mental-health services that are available to our students, and to talk with our students about “self-care” – and the active role they can play in boosting their own emotional well-being.
There is more work to be done, but Dell City School students, faculty and staff have reason to be proud and happy. Data released recently by the Texas Education Agency show that the school has made significant improvements in academic achievement.
