Celebrating 40 Years of Impact — and Looking Forward

2025 marked a major milestone for Communities In Schools of the Dallas Region: 40 years of showing up for students, families, and schools across North Texas. Since 1985, CIS Dallas has worked inside schools to remove barriers to learning and surround students with the support they need to stay in school and succeed in life.

As part of our 40th anniversary celebration, we’re proud to share the official press release announcing 40 and Forward: Celebrating the moments that made us. Investing in what comes next. The release highlights four decades of impact, our continued focus on student mental health and whole-child support, and details for our upcoming anniversary celebration at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science on March 11, 2026.

This milestone is about more than looking back — it’s about honoring the relationships, partnerships, and moments that shaped CIS Dallas, while recommitting ourselves to the work ahead. We invite you to read the full press release and join us as we celebrate the past and invest boldly in the future.
