GPPSS School Board Candidates & Elections
Helping our community better understand the people, issues, and decisions shaping our schools.
School Board elections matter. The individuals elected to the Grosse Pointe Public School System Board of Education help shape priorities, oversee district leadership, and make decisions that can impact students, staff, and the broader community for years to come.
Pointers for Academic Excellence is building this section as a community resource for information about GPPSS School Board elections, candidates, and the issues facing our schools.
With the election approaching, we are ready to bring together candidate information, conversations, public resources and thoughtful coverage designed to help community members look beyond campaign signs to better understand both the candidates and the choices before them.

Our goal is not simply to tell people that an election is happening. It is to help create a more informed conversation about the future of our schools and the community they serve.
