Stockard Students are Wild About Zoo Careers


The Thriving Minds After School program at Stockard Middle School is taking part in a pilot program with the Dallas Zoo that introduces participants to a variety of zoological careers. Once a week, a zoo educator visits the campus to discuss with students available career options—everything from veterinary medicine and horticulture to graphic design and construction. In addition, students get an up-close look at a variety of animals, including an armadillo, hedgehog and snake. Both Big Thought and the Dallas Zoo hope to expand the program to more Thriving Minds campuses soon.
