Dean was hired unanimously by the Escambia County Board of Education to replace Harvey Means after the board failed to extend Means’ contract.

    As a student of ECHS, and getting to witness things everyday, i do believe means did a great job in helping out our school. He may have not 100% made the school better, but its never going to be one hundred percent unless parents start teaching their kids the right things in the home. Means did the best he could and he brought our school up greatly from what it used to be. I’m ready to see what is in store for dean, and i hope he ends my last year good.

    Good luck Mr. Dean. You have the support of the community. We look forward to what you will bring to our school, our students and our system. The “system” may not have done you a favor by hiring you, but you sure did the system a favor by taking the position. Again, good luck.
