Irving ISD Adult Ed. and Literacy What I enjoyed most about the STAHLS class was making shirts tailored for different jobs.  I learned how to design shirts and how to work in groups.  We learned the different types of technology such as easy view online to create our designs.  We were able to share ideas and opinions.  Together we were able to resolve and design and problem solve.  The STAHLS class is a new opportunity to make more money, work and have my own job.  I think it’s wonderful to be able to do my own work and have more time to spend with my family.   – Krissia Amaya

Irving ISD Adult Ed. and Literacy “Having some energetic, motivated students on your team is one way to jumpstart your business venture. Our Stahls class unites just that kind of people, who are open to new knowledge, experience, and have a goal. It’s a good place to get inspiration from.”   – Vera Zaramenskikh-Crockett
