Dallas ISD to launch first-ever Firefighter Academy at Franklin D. Roosevelt High School of Innovation

By The Hub on October 30, 2023 Headlines

New for the 2024-2025 school year, Dallas ISD will offer students an opportunity to join a Firefighter Academy at Franklin D. Roosevelt High School of Innovation. The first-of-its-kind program includes a curriculum where students finish their high school degree while simultaneously earning industry-recognized certifications to become a firefighter. Students can apply for this program now through January 31.

At the core of Roosevelt’s curriculum are the values: safety, teamwork, and community engagement. These foundations are ingrained in the academy, combining rigorous coursework with hands-on training to prepare students for a future in fire services. Students will learn from industry experts, work alongside local fire departments, and learn what it means to become a public servant. 

The four-year program is for incoming freshmen only who meet the GPA requirement. Students will earn 32 dual credit hours including Fire Science (FIRS) courses and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) courses. To complete the program, experiential hours are required.

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Firefighter Academy is a game changer. One of the first of its kind, it’s set up to introduce students to firefighting and the emergency service career fields. Students interested in serving the community can utilize this program as a stepping stone to a rewarding career.
