Dearborn Public Schools Offer Words of Sorrow for Loss of Long Time Supporter of Education

“The city has lost a legend, the school district has lost a strong supporter, but more importantly, friends and family of Mrs. Muirhead have lost a very special person who inspired and touched their lives in so many ways.  As we mourn this very sad loss, let us keep them in our thoughts and prayers,” Whiston  commented.

As an entrepreneur and businesswoman, Muirhead supported education and through the Dearborn Chamber of Commerce created the annual Teacher of the Year award. The annual celebration recognizes three teachers, one from an elementary, middle and high school. Teachers are nominated by their students and winners are selected by the Chamber’s Education Committee. The award is a great way to thank and recognize the hard working teachers in the classroom.

“This is truly a sad day for Dearborn. Our community has lost a friend,” commented James Schoolmaster, Board of Education President.
