GROSSE POINTES After being named Grosse Pointe Public School System superintendent May 12, Jon Dean felt “excited” and “honored.”
“I’m two-thirds excited and one-third like, ‘Wow.’ I’ve lived here since 1997 and raised my family here,” the Grosse Pointe Woods resident said. “The idea of being superintendent has been a dream of mine for a long time. I’m just honored to get the opportunity. I love the people here.”
Although the 4-3 school board vote was not unanimous to select Dean, “We’re prepared to move forward,” the appointed superintendent said. “We are all doing this for the same reason. We care about the kids. We care about this community.”
