Kevelin Jones II

Kevelin has been an educator for 15 years. With a master’s degree in educational leadership, he has served in the capacity of principal for the past 8 years. His passions are family, education, and music. Concerning family, just to name a few, he is proud to have a son who experienced a Broadway tour in the U.S. production of “The Bodyguard the musical.” He is also proud to have donated a kidney to his father in his time of need. He is happily married to his beautiful wife of 17 years, Tanisha. He is blessed to have three gifted children, Alicea, Kevelin III, and Charles. As an educator, he has been a part of two turn around schools who’ve made great strides. His previous school made the Detroit free press for outstanding reading gains. Nothing is more important as a leader than building relational capacity with colleagues, parents, and scholars! Relational capacity, strong but shared leadership, will lead to academic excellence and a positive school climate. As a musician for over 30 years and my undergraduate degree in Music Performing Arts, he has produced and recorded 5 gospel albums to date. We must nurture and produce well-rounded individuals, giving our scholars more than just a focus on one area of education. Scholars in his care will experience a well-rounded education inspired by love and compassion. Quotes he lives by are; “Nothing is impossible if we stand together!” “Whatever it takes, we will succeed!” “No one cares what you know, until they know you care!” Finally, as a leader, he states this often, “My goal is OUR success!”
