The Michigan Association of School Administrators (MASA) has chosen Dearborn\u2019s Glenn Maleyko as its Superintendent of the Year.
\nChris Wigent, the executive director of MASA lauded Maleyko at the November P-12 meeting of the Dearborn Board of Education calling him an \u201coutstanding leader\u201d.
\n\u201cAlways putting students first, Dr. Maleyko cares deeply about their success, which has paid off in many areas including an increase in rising graduation rates,\u201d Wigent said.
\nHe went on to praise Maleyko\u2019s \u201cstrategic planning\u201d, which he said is leading to greater success for students as well as educators in Dearborn.
\n\u201cIn addition, his leadership in the district\u2019s social media presence is impressive and demonstrates his willingness to ensure that there is a strong connection between the school district and the community,\u201d Wigent said.
\nThe Superintendent\u2019s initiatives include reorganizing administrative responsibilities, so schools are grouped by the high school they feed into, which helps educators improve how they see their role in ensuring each student\u2019s ultimate academic success.
\nHe has also successfully implemented the strategic plan and uses those goals to drive the work of the district.
\nOne of Maleyko\u2019s most well-received accomplishments has been the creation of the Superintendent\u2019s Student Advisory Council.
\nNow in its third year, this group of about 15 high school students meets regularly with the superintendent and other key administrators to share their perspectives on district issues and discuss how to meet students\u2019 needs.
\n\u201cReceiving this award is a huge honor for me,\u201d Maleyko told the Yemeni American News. \u201cI am truly humbled to be recognized by my colleagues from across the state. It is also special that state PTA members, state school Board members, and administrators and teachers from across the state are part of the selection committee.\u201d
\nMaleyko also credited Dearborn students, educators and community members for the success of the district.
\n\u201cAlthough I received this award, it really belongs to our entire school community,\u201d he said. \u201cMy philosophy has always involved teamwork and working together with the staff, parents, community members and of course my pride and joy our outstanding students.\u201d
\nHe said the pride of the schools\u2019 accomplishments should be shared by everyone.
\nMaleyko\u2019s predecessor in Dearborn, Brian Whiston had received the same recognition five years ago. Whiston had gone on to become the superintendent of the entire state before losing his battle with cancer earlier this year. He was 56 years old.
\nMaleyko paid tribute to Whiston.
\n\u201cThis award also carries a lot of sentimental value because, on the same day, November 12, 2013, my mentor, a phenomenal administrator and leader, Mr. Brian Whiston received the same award,\u201d Maleyko said.
\n\u201cI was by his side to see that happen and it made it even more special for me to have Beth and Kristen Whiston in attendance while I received the award.\u201d
\nHe extended his gratitude to his family for the \u201ccontinuous and unwavering support.\u201d .
\nMaleyko said the prestigious award is a testament to the hard work taking place in our district to benefit the students.
\n\u201cAll of us in education understand that our work is never done and we must always push to deliver the very best instruction, however, when I see the optimism and hope in the faces of our students, and when I witness first hand the success they are having in our schools, I feel very optimistic about the future of Dearborn, this state, and this great nation,\u201d he added.
\nA panel of distinguished judges selected Maleyko from a pool of highly qualified nominees. The Michigan Superintendent of the Year is recognized for strong leadership, creativity in successfully meeting the needs of students, communication skills, professionalism, community involvement, and student success during that person\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n
