Big shoutout to my former classmate Coach Marvin Rushing for being named the head coach at his alma mater, Detroit Cass Tech. Coach Rushing has a great personal story and perspective for urban kids to hear. DPSCD Athletics

I’d like to thank all of the principals in DPSCommunityDistrict’s Cohort #1 for the thoughtful and very generous Christmas gift. This addition to my home office has been six years in the making, but the Wayne State diploma frame for my doctorate degree finally arrived.

Congratulations to Coach Tom Hoover (aka Hoov) for being recently selected as the new head football coach at New Boston Huron. I have known Hoov for over 20 years, and he is a great person who also happens to be an excellent football coach. NBH will be a force in the Huron League

Here is a good ole 1980s DPS throwback to Mumford High School following the release of “Beverly Hills Cop”, and the Mumford physical education t-shirt worn by Eddie Murphy in the movie, which made Mumford the talk of Detroit. DPSCommunityDistrict

One of my principals got me good. She told me to come to her promotion ceremony, but it was a surprise pre-Father’s Day lunch for the father’s on her staff. Thank you MCoakley and the ladies at Greenfield Union Pk-8 DPSCD. for the lunch, cards, and gifts. DPSCommunityDistrict
