Media Center
The History Behind the Media Center
Lillian Demas' administrative path has been marked by honors and triumphs. She has served as an associate principal at both Jeannette Junior High School and Ford. The Ford staff was extremely fortunate in 1997 when Lillian was appointed as our principal. She has made a tremendous impact on life at the high school. She immersed herself in the total school/community environment, and has worked industriously to support the growth of staff, students, and programs in an environment that was supportive, safe, and caring. For all of these reasons, Ford has chosen to name our new media center after this remarkable woman. Thank you Lillian Demas for being an inspiration to all of us!
