Life High School Oak Cliff News & Notes

Life School proudly announces the participation of approximately 50 students in this year's Special Olympics. This year marks a special milestone as elementary students participated for the first time since before the pandemic. 

Life School, a charter school network in operation for over a quarter-century, announces its latest expansion efforts to provide quality educational opportunities that will serve the growing needs of their families and students.

Life School has received full system approval from the Texas Education Agency under the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA). The approval grants Life School nearly $300,000 to recognize TEA-designated Teachers this year. Only 25% of districts in the state currently hold this designation, according to the Texas Public Charter School Association.

Life School Oak Cliff graduate Damian English is affectionately known as a “lifer.” Damian began his education as a kindergartener in 2005 and graduated in 2017, completing his entire K-12 years as a student at Life School Oak Cliff. Opening in 1998, with only 266 students and 15 staff, Life School has now grown to a network of over 5,700 students across 8 campuses. However, over the years, the small southern Dallas neighborhood school has managed to maintain the close-knit community that allowed students like Damian to flourish.
