Dads & Difference Makers

Dads and difference makers logo

Dads & Difference Makers brings fathers, father figures, and positive role models together to support students and schools across Mesquite ISD. Through campus-based chapters, participants help create welcoming environments, build meaningful connections, and make a lasting impact by being present, encouraging students, and supporting school communities.

Who can join?

Dads & Difference Makers welcomes fathers, grandfathers, uncles, guardians, alumni, clergy, extended family members, and community leaders who want to make a positive difference in students' lives.

Campus-Based Chapters

Each Mesquite ISD high school feeder pattern and Vanguard High School operate as their own Dads & Difference Makers chapters. Chapters create opportunities for positive role models to support students, connect with campuses, and serve school communities in meaningful ways.
