Dearborn Center for Math, Science, and Technology

An 18-year-old Dearborn student is making major academic moves after being accepted into some of the nation’s top universities.

Hassan Murtada, a senior at Dearborn High School and the Dearborn Center for Math, Science and Technology, has earned acceptance into MIT, Princeton University, and the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.

Murtada currently holds a 5.0 GPA and is still undecided on which school he plans to attend.

Dearborn Schools is moving to ParentSquare as the official communication tool for the district. Parents will be able to see all of the school and district news in one place, see school calendars, find notes from teachers, communicate with your child's school, and even fill out field trip forms! The app can also be used to automatically translate district communications and to set notification preferences.

We are encouraging families to download the app to get the most out of the tool, but parents will continue to receive emails and other communications even without the app.

Congratulations to Fordson and DCMST Senior Hassan Idris!

A Fordson High School senior is on his way to one of the most prestigious universities in the country.

Hassan Idris, 17, was recently accepted to Columbia University on a full-ride scholarship. With a 4.5 cumulative GPA and a perfect current 5.0 GPA this semester, Idris’s hard work and dedication are paying off.

Throughout his high school career, Idris has balanced a rigorous course load, including 16 Advanced Placement (AP) classes, while actively participating in clubs like the Arab Student Union, Student Council, and National Honor Society.

But academics aren’t his only strong suit. Idris has earned recognition in several competitions, including Business Professionals of America (BPA), Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), the Southeast Michigan Science Fair (SEFMD), and the YES Business Competition.

As Idris prepares to head to New York this fall, he hopes his journey inspires other students in Dearborn to dream big and pursue their goals.
