A grand reopening celebration was held Saturday for two schools in Dallas that were destroyed by a tornado in 2019.
The schools, Thomas Jefferson High School and Walnut Hill International Leadership Academy, now have state of the art campuses for students and educators to enjoy.
Students returning "home" after their Northwest Dallas neighborhood was wrecked by a tornado in October 2019. Gonzalez was in 5th grade when the tornado hit. Her school, Walnut Hill Academy, was one of three schools destroyed. Teachers like Pantya and their students were temporarily transferred to other schools. Now, more than three years later, Thomas Jefferson High School is celebrating its re-opening. About 75% of the original 64-year-old building was destroyed."This school will be here for another 50, 60, 70, 100 years, maybe," said Joe Carreon, who is Dallas ISD Trustee for District 8.
