Education

Pete Chapasko, the man responsible for many academic strides at Preston Hollow Elementary over the years, has left the helm to lead the International Leadership of Texas campus in Keller. Chapasko came on as principal in 2007, just a year after the segregation lawsuit that made national headlines, and was tasked with repairing the school’s reputation. Chapasko also brought the school to exemplary status — when he arrived, it was two failing student grades away from being “unacceptable” in the eyes of the Texas Education Agency (although the TEA has since changed its accountability standards). Dallas ISD took notice and named him DISD’s Principal of the Year in 2011.

The “I will graduate” campaign, launched by neighborhood resident and Dallas ISD volunteer Louisa Meyer, aims to outfit every elementary student in the district with a T-shirt promoting the DISD high school they’ll attend along with their graduation date. Volunteers need $165,000 to meet their goal for the project to increase pride in our neighborhood public schools. To find out how to get involved and contribute funds, visit the “Dallas ISD I will graduate” page on Facebook.

People

The Discovery Channel’s three-part miniseries “Klondike,” which aired in January, featured 2005 W.T. White High School alumnus Johnny Simmons as Jack London. Simmons has also appeared in the movies “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” and “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

Robert Edsel , author of several novels including “The Monuments Men,” lives on Turtle Creek, just outside Preston Hollow, and he graduated from St. Mark’s School of Texas. Hollywood actor George Clooney made Edsel’s book into a movie of the same name, which released last month, starring Matt Damon.

Graham Smith , a 16-year-old student at the Episcopal School of Dallas, made national headlines recently after he successfully hacked into the social media app SnapChat. He re-wrote an existing form of code that revealed the names and phone numbers of all of SnapChat’s users, including the company’s creator who Smith texted to point out the privacy issue.
