Hispanic Heritage Month

In 1988, Congress established September 15 through October 15 as Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM), a time to honor the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. Throughout this month, Dallas ISD offers a variety of engaging programs and activities that celebrate, empower, and highlight the rich cultural heritage of our students. The Office of School Improvement (OSI) encourages schools to explore these resources, not only during HHM but as tools to enrich lessons and spark meaningful conversations all year long.

Hispanic Heritage Month - Historical Series

Discover the stories of Hispanic and Latino pioneers who made history and shaped the world we live in today. From leaders and activists to artists and innovators, these trailblazers broke barriers, inspired change, and left a legacy that continues to guide us.

Learning about pioneers from different countries is exciting because it shows us how courage, creativity, and determination can make a lasting impact. Their journeys remind us that we, too, can be leaders and changemakers in our own communities.

Graphics

To help bring the celebration to life, the Communications Department has created Hispanic Heritage Month graphics that you can use as Google Classroom headers, website banners, slide presentations, and even social media posts. These vibrant designs are a great way to showcase pride and highlight the rich cultural heritage we’re honoring this month.
