Education
The aquarium is also part of a joint initiative between local companies and corporations and the Dallas Public School district. Many of the Aquarium's employees are also full-time students at the School of Business & Management at the Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Magnet High School. This joint venture as part of a work-study program by the school, emphasizes real world business techniques and practices in order to teach the upcoming generation on maintaining and running the day to day operations of one of the city's largest and most well-known attractions.
