Principal's Biography, Ms. Awada

Principal Andrea Awada was awarded the title of Educator of the Year in February, 2005.

The prize was awarded at the Founder's Day dinner.

Welcome to our Geer Park Elementary School website. I am pleased that you want to learn more about our school. I am Andrea Awada, Principal of Geer Park School. After serving the Dearborn Public School community for twenty six years as teacher, counselor, compensatory education consultant, in-school suspension facilitator, teacher consultant, resource teacher and administrator it is a pleasure to be the Principal at Geer Park. At Geer Park Elementary we believe that Students Come First and the way to unlock their minds is by touching their hearts. My staff and I invite you to join us in actively pursuing our philosophy.

When I am not at school, I am busy with my two children, Amanda 14 and Michael 12, and our cat, Moochie. Amanda, Michael and I love to spend time traveling, swimming, fishing, boating, and spending time with family and friends. I love to read and enjoy learning about different cultures. I received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Wayne State University. I have been involved in various community organizations. I currently serve as the president of ACCESS, one of the largest social service agencies in the United States, and one of our community partners.

Please feel free to visit us at any time. We maintain an open door policy and encourage your input, observation and participation.
