At Dallas Community High School, we are dedicated to engaging, empowering, and equipping every student to explore career and college opportunities and plan for life after high school.
Our advisory group teachers and counseling team collaborate to ensure students are well-informed and confident in making decisions about the wide range of pathways available to them. Using Oregon CIS, students create individualized post-secondary plans and set goals that guide their next steps.
Through the E³ model, we provide every student with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to start their journey toward a successful future.
