Residents of Dearborn Public Schools who are 60 or older can get free Premier Citizen Cards. The cards can be used for free admission to most home sporting events and other school activities like concerts.
DEARBORN — 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 district school or the Administration Service Center, 18700 Audette St., to pick up this year’s card. Cards obtained last school year expire on Sept. 30.
The 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 also can receive discounts on select Community Education classes.
“Many local residents in the over-60 crowd are Dearborn Public Schools alumni, parents of former students, or grandparents to current students,” Supt. Glenn Maleyko said. “We are happy to welcome them back to school. With the Premier Citizen Discount Card, senior residents can enjoy discounts or free admission to school programs, including home sporting events and musical performances.
“Community members will be proud of the accomplishments of the young people in their neighborhood. 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.”
