30 Stories for 30 Years

The stories of our students and families are woven into the fabric of our school.  As we celebrate our thirty year anniversary, we recognize God's faithfulness in forming and growing our community.  

By sharing thirty stories throughout the year, we hope to honor those who made our mission possible and those who have been impacted by WDCS.  We invite you to follow along as we share these stories via social media, email, and on our website. Stay tuned as we release more stories throughout the year.

 
 

 
 

NIKKI WASHINGTON | 22 Years of Service

Mrs. Washington has been a treasured part of our faculty for over 22 years. She has taught Kindergarten every year.

"I love getting to teach kindergarten at West Dallas Community School. The school's atmosphere is very nurturing and loving. We really are a family.

I have taught five girls from one family. A few years ago, I attended the high school graduation of the oldest, while holding the youngest sibling in my arms. She is now in fourth grade. My greatest accomplishment has been teaching generations of siblings and watching them from grow from children into beautiful young adults.

I am so proud of our students' accomplishments. At WDCS, we are giving them the foundation they need to succeed and encouraging them to go as far as they can go."

KHLOE | Class of 2011

“I attended WDCS from 2002 to 2011, starting in Pre-K and staying all the way through 8th grade. I was there during the years when the school was still in the portables, which I actually loved — as a kid, it all felt so whimsical! I attended Trinity Christian Academy in Addison for high school, then went on to the University of Arkansas where I studied International Studies and Asian Studies, with a minor in Japanese. Currently, I am preparing for an exciting move to Ecuador to pursue work in the field of wellness and holistic healing.”
