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.

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.
