Greetings,
Around the world, and right here in our community, Muslims are prepared to begin the month of Ramadan. This month of fasting, charity, and prayer is also a time of family gatherings and the sharing of meals. These activities strengthen one’s faith but they also help to strengthen our community.
As Superintendent I’m very fortunate to have the opportunity to meet and connect with many people and organizations in our community. I enjoy sharing in the celebrations and appreciate the warm welcome I always receive.
Our District always has and always will embrace and champion diversity, equality, and education for all. Our Board of Education recently passed a resolution saying as much. Our diverse employees, students, their families and the community that we serve are who we are. Their diverse knowledge, skills and backgrounds, and experiences enlighten and strengthen our schools and community, contributes to its growth, and provides a foundation for tomorrow’s leaders.
We are committed to student success and providing an open door to their educational and professional goals. This long standing commitment is woven throughout our School District Mission Statement, values, policies, services, and daily practices.
More than 20,700 students attend the Dearborn Public Schools and our students and their families represent the many cultures, nationalities and religions that make up the great city of Dearborn. We are proud to be part of a community where so many can practice their faith in freedom and with the understanding of neighbors. School is about learning and learning takes place at all times not just in the classroom. Learning about other cultures, traditions, and religions helps bring us closer together as a community and strengthen us as a city.
“Ramadan Mubarak”
