Join us Tuesday evening, we promise you'll be encouraged by our innovative entrepreneurs!

This is insane. A new high school outside Dallas dedicated 1/3 of their floor space to entrepreneurship. The 1st floor is a mall, where 15+ local businesses set up shop so students can be mentored, apply for jobs & learn how to run a biz. There's also a: - recording studio - photo studio - makerspace innovation lab - coding lab - eSports lab - 10,000 square foot theatre - 7,000 seat arena The on site businesses get a cheaper lease if they mentor students. Floors 2-3 have normal HS classes The school is becoming a template for other schools and is called Opportunity Central. Better yet, this school cost a whopping $100 million LESS than a normal new high school. The superintendent sounds like a hero. Imagine if more administrators had common sense like this: You can be the most knowledgeable veterinarian in the world but if you can’t run the veterinary hospital and the business side to it, you’re not going to be very successful long-term. This makes me proud to live in Texas. Would love to see this become more common. I want to be a part of this somehow.

@mhp_guy It's about time - great ideas!

@jkcheney A student walking into the building this morning asked, "How can it possibly be cooler outside than it is inside?" It's muggy indoors as well!
