Who WE ARE
LEADERSHIP TEAM
Our Leadership Team represents administrative, fiscal and programmatic team members at BBTE. This inclusive group provides insights, recommendations and strategic planning of the organization.
Growing up as a young man from Dorchester, Massachusetts, Dejon attended both charter and public schools. Dejon personally struggled with academics and had to work twice as hard to get good grades. He did not have access to tutors to help, but I persevered, graduated high school and graduated from Wheelock College in 2016. Due to his personal struggles in school, Dejon has made a commitment to provide children with the tools necessary to succeed in school and life so they can reach their full potential as human beings. Through this commitment, Dejon opened Boston’s Bridge to Excellence program in the Boston Public Schools. Dejon is passionate in bringing together Boston’s Bridge to Excellence programs, school districts and community partners, so they can all work together towards the common goal: all children deserve access to quality education and experiences in schools, especially during extended learning times.
