bring a passionate commitment to fostering an educational environment that is equitable, inclusive, and empowering for every student across Eastpointe and South Warren, Michigan. Leading with a strong foundation in community building and governance, the AIR Slate understands the unique challenges and opportunities within our school district.
The ACE Platform focuses on strengthening the foundation set by the district's founders, dating back to at least 1872 and physically embodied in our historic schoolhouse, Erin/Warren Fractional # 2. These basic but valuable foundational focus areas serve as the community's building blocks for a brighter future for all of Eastpointe and South Warren: Academics, Career and Technical Education (CTE), and Extracurriculars. We have to achieve in the three R's, provide pathways to adulthood beyond our hallowed halls, and extend enriching experiences like sports and leadership opportunities beyond the classroom.
Bridging values with pragmatic policies, the AIR Slate aims to enhance academic achievement and digital literacy, preparing students for success in today's multifaceted and evolving world.
Why It Matters: In diverse communities like Eastpointe and South Warren, every child should be provided with the tools, space, and encouragement to grow their own way. The AIR Slate's vision ensures all students receive the support and opportunities they deserve, building a foundation for lifelong success and hometown pride. Once a Shamrock, Always a Winner!
