Hi everyone!

My niece is graduating soon with a degree in Elementary Education and is moving from Florida to the Dallas area to begin her teaching career. She’s particularly interested in teaching in either the Plano ISD or Dallas ISD.

If anyone has any tips, contacts, or people she could reach out to directly, I’d be so grateful. Just trying to help her get a good start as she settles into a new city and career!

Thanks so much in advance!

Avoid DISD and go to one of the suburbs, like those mentioned above, or Coppell, Grapevine or Southlake.

Dallas ISD is a lot like any other large city school district. Not great and kinda dysfunctional. Don’t know about Plano. But Frisco and Prosper and Celina are growing like crazy and need new teachers all the time. Not ideal for a young person in terms of social life but she could live in Plano and do a reverse commute north and still get to Dallas easily. Also, Plano and Frisco now have plenty of nightlife that she doesn’t really need to go to Dallas if that’s what she’s looking for

I would suggest she join a kickball or activity league for young adults. It’s going to be hot here over the next few months, but I’ve found that it’s a good way to meet people.

DFW isn’t NYC/LA but there are things for younger folks to do.

If you’re considering Plano, all try for all the other good ones nearby (Frisco, Allen)
