ECHS Students Visit Federal Reserve

ECHS Students Visit Federal ReserveOn Oct. 9, Early College High School students visited the Federal Reserve in Dallas, TX. Students learned about the history of the Federal Reserve and changes around the country. The students learned how money is made and how it is distributed. The trip to the Fed helped to augment what students are learning in their economics classes at Brookhaven College. ECHS Student, Oscar, commented, “we learned about the different types of currency that was issued before and how different the bills were. My favorite part of the field trip was the video of the bills, were they went and the process to determine if a bill was valid for circulation or not.”

CFB Holds 2018 Fifth Grade Career Fair

On Nov. 8, CFBISD held the 2018 Fifth Grade Career Fair at the ESDC Building. Students from across the district were taken by bus to the event. The event is held so that students can learn more about career opportunities and fields of interest they may have not previously considered or knew existed. Students took notes and met with representatives from various businesses and organizations in the public and private sector. Students asked questions and were given detailed answers about opportunities in the various career fields. Booths present at the event included RLT FFA, Carrollton Police Department, Carrollton Fire Department, CareFlite, and many others. The annual tradition helps to jumpstart ideas for students who aren’t always sure how to answer the question, “what do you want to do when you grow up?” As these opportunities open up other avenues of study, it can begin to prepare students to plan on which CFB Academy they would like to attend when they enter high school. Eighth graders are currently learning more about these academies through Nov. 15.
