Dearborn Public Schools is continuing its tradition of encouraging older residents to attend school events by offering free admission and other special discounts via the Premier Citizen Discount Card.
District residents age 60 or older can stop in to any Dearborn Public School or the Administration Service Center, 18700 Audette St., Dearborn, to pick up this year’s Premier Citizen Discount Card. Those who already have cards will notice they expire next month – Sept. 30, 2025 – so they are encouraged to stop in and pick up a new card. The Dearborn Public Schools District includes all of Dearborn and a section of Dearborn Heights. (See the map.)
“Many local residents in the over 60 crowd are Dearborn Public Schools alumni, parents of former students, or grandparents to current students. We are happy to welcome them back to school,” notes Dearborn Public Schools Superintendent Glenn Maleyko. “With the Premier Citizen Discount Card, senior residents can enjoy discounts or free admission to school programs, including home sporting events and musical performances.”
The Premier Citizen Discount Card is free and provides free admission to most school-sponsored activities including concerts and athletic events at the home school. Discounted tickets are available for plays and musicals, which are not free because schools must pay for performance licenses. The program does not include playoff games and other Michigan High School Athletic Association events held at a district high school. Those age 60 or older can also receive discounts on select Community Education classes.
“Community members will be proud of the accomplishments of the young people in their neighborhood,” Dr. Maleyko added. “We hope that every resident over the age of 60 will pick up a Premier Citizen Discount Card and take advantage of the free admission and discounts to have an entertaining experience in the Dearborn Public Schools.”
