Each year, Dallas ISD recognizes team members who reach anniversary milestones in five-year increments as part of our Salute to Service. To be honored, you must have served in Dallas ISD for at least five years.
During its initial launch in the 2022-2023 school year, the Dallas ISD Salute to Service program distributed over 13,000 pins to employees, and honored over 350 employees with over 35 years of service.
Beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, the Salute to Service program provided pins to over 5,000 employees reaching 5-year milestones. The Salute to Service program also expanded the Lifetime Achievement Award to include team members with over 30 years of service, distributing over 530 plaques.
