History
Formerly the Education and Social Services Magnet (ESSM), this Dallas ISD high school is now the School of Education and Social Services (SESS). SESS is one of six Magnet High Schools housed in the Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Magnet Center since 1995. ESSM and SESS are often used interchangeably.
Location
The majority of ESSM classrooms are located on the bottom floor of the Townview Magnet Center (TMC), this includes the Office of the Dean, the Office of the Counselor, and the main classrooms for "cluster" teachers.
The Program
Students of SESS have the choice of being in one of three "clusters". These cluster are Child Related Professions (CRP), Social Services (SS), and Education (EDU). Students who desire to pursue a career in fields such as Teaching, owning a day care, psychology, any field working with children, social work, and school administrative positions are encouraged to apply for the SESS. The school mascot is “The Fabulous Phoenix”, and the colors are Navy and Columbia Blue. The School of Education and Social Services accepts about 50 students per class, and graduates close to one-hundred percent of their seniors.
Cluster teacher create material specified to the career field that they teach. For example, the Education Cluster Coordinator creates materials behooving of future educators such as the following: how to successfully manage a classroom, the mechanics of creating lesson plans, and even special internships in which students become teacher aides their junior year, and administrative interns their senior year. An experience not boasted or offered by many other high schools.
Furthermore, the program is designed in such a way that students spend three of the four years in high school in the same cluster, enabling students to become a family with bonds of friendship unparallel by any other. There are also great opportunities to join profession related organizations such as the Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE), Family, Career, Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), Peer Assistant Leadership Services (PALS) just to name a few.
