In the new 2019 school year at Morton East High School, two new deans were introduced.

He was also able to obtain leadership experience as the District Health and Wellness coordinator and the physical education department head. The new Dean Mr. Philip Depa showed interest in knowing if students in school have known about him and if they have him as a dean. In a random survey of ninety-three Morton East Students, thirty students reported having him as a dean.

How do students feel about the new dean? 

“I haven’t had the opportunity to meet him, but I would like to know about him,” Sayan Flores said.

Mr. Depa mentioned his objective as a dean.

 “As a dean, I will continuously strive to help students advance and create attainable action plans for success,” Depa said.
