Rockwall ISD students from the Dr. Gene Burton College & Career Academy’s Dental 1 and Dental 2 programs recently put their skills into practice by volunteering at a community dental event at Globe Life Field. Assisting in the care of approximately 200 patients, they applied classroom knowledge in a real-world setting.
