Winding through North Dallas between Royal Lane and Denton Drive, the Northaven Trail’s nine paved miles are lined with pocket gardens and grassy meadows. Since its official completion in 2023, the local trail has become a daily gathering place for neighbors of all ages and interests.

Much of its loving care is in the community’s hands, as well.

Friends of Northaven Trail is the nonprofit dedicated to the support and beautification of the trail. Its efforts supplement the standard maintenance provided by Dallas Parks and Recreation. The organization’s name may ring a bell following last fall’s much-publicized “Northaven Tails” initiative, which brought 400 grazing goats to Preston Hollow’s collective backyard.

On Saturday, April 11, the Friends hosted their Third Annual Rhythm & Blooms fundraiser with similar enthusiasm and character.

Preliminary STAAR results indicate Dallas ISD students made academic gains across multiple grade levels, subjects and performance categories during the 2025-26 school year, according to a news release from Dallas ISD.

District leaders recently shared the results with the Board of Trustees, highlighting improvements not only on grade-level assessments, but also in several STAAR End-of-Course categories where students met or exceeded state averages, according to the release.

In a January report by People Newspapers, education expert Robin Berkley, Ann Kimball Johnson Director of Education at the George W. Bush Institute, explained that accountability systems help families and educators understand school performance and guide improvement.

Denton Animal Services is reaching out to the Dallas community to help animals in need. The shelter, according to Victoria Chittam Bennett, Assistant Director of Dallas Animal Services, has reached its max capacity and urges Dallasites to adopt the animals without a home. ⁠
⁠
After taking in animals from three large-scale cruelty seizures, on top of caring for hundreds of dogs and cats, the shelter has reached capacity and is looking for foster homes, volunteers, and pet reunifications. ⁠
⁠
“Our shelter is beyond the population level that allows us to operate most effectively,” said Bennett. “Our staff and volunteers continue to provide compassionate care to every animal who comes through our doors, but we cannot do this alone. The community’s support is critical right now. Every adoption, every foster placement, every volunteer shift, and every pet reclaimed by its owner creates space and resources for another animal in need.” ⁠

The Highland Park ISD board of trustees June 16 greenlit the district’s proposed 2026-2027 budget.

The 2026-2027 proposed budget projects nearly $86 million in expenditures and nearly $85 million in revenues in the district’s general fund.

At the end of the 2026-2027 school year, district officials said the general fund balance is projected to be just under $45 million.

The district’s projected debt service budget includes just under $41 million in revenue and just under $40,800,000 in expenditures.

The school board is set to approve the 2026-27 tax rate in August after receiving the certified taxable value from the Dallas County Appraisal District.

Jesuit Dallas put together a standout season on the baseball diamond in 2026.

The Rangers not only returned to the regional finals of the Class 6A playoffs for the first time since 2017, but also navigated through the District 7-6A season unscathed en route to the title for the 10th time in the past 17 years.

As a result, the Rangers were well-represented on the all-district squad, racking up 14 selections, including nearly sweeping the superlative honors.

The Arts Community Alliance (TACA) has announced that 50 organizations across Dallas County are receiving $650,000 through its Catalyst Grants program to support the North Texas arts community.

According to Maura Sheffler, Donna Wilhelm Family President and Executive Director of TACA, the Catalyst Grant provides unrestricted flexibility to direct resources where they’re needed most. From staffing to infrastructure, the new funding will support TACA’s efforts to support the thriving arts in Dallas.

“Arts’ organizations continue to demonstrate remarkable resilience, creativity, and impact in communities across Dallas County,” said Sheffler. “Catalyst Grants are designed to meet organizations where they are and provide the flexibility they need to respond to challenges, seize opportunities, and continue enriching the lives of North Texans through the arts. When we invest in arts organizations, we invest in the cultural, social, and economic vitality of our entire region.”

Dallas Independent School District (DISD) will introduce a universal student badge system beginning in the 2026–2027 school year, district officials announced in a news release.⁠
⁠
The new badge will serve as a single identification card for students across the district, allowing access to transportation services, meal purchases, library book checkouts, and athletic events.⁠
⁠
While students have long been required to carry identification badges on campus, the districtwide system is designed to streamline services, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen campus security, officials said. The standardized badge will provide a consistent experience for students while reducing the need for multiple forms of identification.⁠
⁠
Each badge will feature a unified Dallas ISD design while also incorporating individual school mascots and branding elements to maintain each campus’s unique identity.⁠
⁠
District leaders said the initiative is part of ongoing efforts to modernize student services and create a more secure and connected school environment.⁠

"In 2021, my brother, Asher Wilburn, noticed a pressing need in our neighborhood in the aftermath of COVID-19 lockdowns.⁠
⁠
Younger children had been stuck inside for months. With many youth athletic leagues, basketball courts, YMCAs, and recreation centers limiting access, opportunities to participate in sports were scarce. Many children were missing out on a formative phase of childhood — youth sports.⁠
⁠
My brother, a sophomore at St. Mark’s School of Texas and varsity athlete, created Preston Hollow Summer Sports Camp (PHSS) out of this need. The camp began, and is still held today, in the backyard of our home in Preston Hollow. In the camp’s second year, my other brother, Ace Wilburn, then a freshman at St. Mark’s, began assisting Asher.⁠
⁠
PHSS will return for another summer session in June 2026." ⁠

"Momma Won’t Die," co-written by mother-daughter duo Patty Pell and Laurie Pell Grigsby, is a triumph for the independent play industry. Having had its preview showing on June 10, tickets for their opening weekend on the Kalita Humphreys Theater campus were sold out. The play is a delightful look into reconciliation, grief, and honoring those we love. ⁠
⁠
The play, directed by Del Shores, was developed alongside Pell and takes place in the southern home of Miss Gigi, played by the wonderful Sally Soldo, in her final days before she passes. Soldo fills the role of Grace Pell, Patty’s mother, and along with her daughter Jamie (Morgana Shaw) and Libby (Nancy Chartier) make up the trinity and beating heart of the production.⁠
