Dexter Public Schools named 2020 Organization of the Year.

2020 made the education world jump through many hoops.

"This past year, the Dexter Public Schools faced a lot of uncertainty. This did not stop the administration from focusing on the student’s education," commented 2nd Vice President of the Chamber, Tara Barks.  "When the school year abruptly ended in March the school district was able to continue providing breakfast, lunch, and snacks to students. In August of 2020, the district was faced with another challenge; to go virtual or conduct in person learning. The administration and board elected to keep our students in the classroom."

"Each school within the district worked together to provide a safe environment for the staff and students. This 'student first' mind set will allow our students to continue to succeed. Even outside the classroom walls, the School District is a positive part of our community. The Dexter Public Schools went above the call of duty in 2020."
