Dallas ISD Health and Physical Education Department internship provides students with lifelong learning

Written by Communications Services junior associate, Chandler Flowers

Investing in health and knowledge of the human body is important for the future, and no one believes this more than Health and Physical Education. This summer, the Health and Physical Education Department and their interns are working to spread knowledge of health throughout Dallas ISD.

Toni is interested in health because of her time in varsity cheer and was instantly hooked when she saw a P.E. section at a job fair. She also wants to pursue medicine and become a doctor in the future.

Her advice to students interested in an internship is to not give up and follow what they are interested in.

“If you are interested in a certain subject, it will be fun no matter what you are doing,” she said.

Whitaker has nothing but good things to say about Toni and her fellow student interns.

“If you give them a project, they can just execute it without much general observation. They are amazing kids and it is such a reminder of why we do what we do,” she said.
