DEA Helicopter Lands at DJCC for Red Ribbon Week As a part of the DEA National Red Ribbon Campaign, a DEA helicopter landed in the rear parking lot of the Dale Jackson Career Center on October 27. Principal Alan Strong and all Dale Jackson students, wearing DEA Red Ribbons, turned out to welcome the DEA Special Agents. DEA Supervisory Special Agent Michelle Deaver addressed the Dale Jackson students and answered their questions. In addition, Texas Army National Guard Specialist Jeremy Solis spoke to the Dale Jackson students about his experiences while in Iraq and warned the students of the dangers of drug use.
Dale Jackson Career Center was selected as the October Lewisville Area Chamber of Commerce School of the Month. Principal Alan Strong attended the monthly Chamber luncheon as the guest of the Lewisville State Bank. At that time he was presented with a School of the Month plaque. We would like to thank the Chamber of Commerce for this honor.
