In preparation for life after high school, more than 220 Dallas ISD students from 11 high schools participated in a Financial Literacy Day event designed to strengthen their personal finance skills and economic understanding.

Hosted by the district’s Social Studies department, it equipped students with foundational knowledge in key areas such as budgeting, saving, credit management, and long-term financial planning.

“Personal financial literacy is a cornerstone of independence, well-being, and stability for our students, their families, and our community,” said Aaron Aguirre-Castillo, executive director of curriculum design. “By fostering this knowledge, we are collectively empowering them to make informed decisions and build brighter futures.”

Through a series of interactive sessions led by local community partners, students explored real-world strategies to help manage and build financial stability.

Each partner brought customized content and hands-on learning opportunities that encouraged students to reflect on their financial goals and learn tools they could apply immediately.

The Financial Literacy Day initiative aligns with Dallas ISD’s ongoing efforts to prepare students for success beyond the classroom and the district’s commitment to postsecondary readiness.

As the district observes Financial Literacy Month in April, the Social Studies Department continues to develop opportunities that promote practical life skills and informed decision-making.
