Zeeble, B. (2018, February 02). With Thousands Of Homeless Students, This District Put Help Right In Its Schools.

Mike Moran, the principal at Bryan Adams High School in Dallas, says oftentimes when students are homeless, they’re too embarrassed to tell anyone. “A lot of times it is revealed that there’s a temporary living situation, they’re in a motel, they’re now staying with an aunt and uncle,” he says. Principal Moran has heard similar stories about 50, or so, kids at his school, just one of dozens of high schools in the district. That’s why Dallas schools have put something called a drop-in center at nearly every high school in the district.
