Moisés E. Molina High School (Dallas) 2011 Graduation

Moisés E. Molina High School is a public secondary school in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas (USA). Molina High School is part of the Dallas Independent School District. It serves students from parts of southwestern Dallas and parts of Cockrell Hill.
The school opened in August 1997 across Duncanville Road from Mountain View College, a community college operated by the Dallas County Community College District.

The school is named for Moisés E. Molina, a musician and retired Dallas ISD teacher. He attended the University of Texas at Arlington and North Texas State University. From Molina's writings:
" On Nov. 8, 1947, I became the newest citizen of McAllen, Texas. I was child number five to my parents, three brothers, and one sister. Church was the central activity in my family, and it was in church that I discovered my love for music. At the age of six, I was in piano classes, and I kept studying music all through school.

Music was my love, but teaching did not enter my thoughts until high school. Many teachers have lengthy explanations about why they chose teaching as a career. I know exactly why and when I decided to teach. The assistant band director at my high school cared about me. Watching him at work, I decided to be like him. I believe all teachers pursue the profession because of a role model. One of my biggest challenges has been to be the kind of role model that my favorite teacher was.
