InsideOut Grieves Founding Board Member Sterling C. Jones, Jr.
Sterling C. Jones, Jr. was a founding member of the InsideOut Board of Directors. He served several terms as board president and remained active until only very recently. While director of Detroit Public Schools Gifted and Talented Education, he oversaw fine programs such as chess, debate, and oratory, and supported the literary efforts that became InsideOut. Sterling brought his passion for young people and his extraordinary integrity to bear on many decisions, helping to set the course of InsideOut. He donated generously of his time and resources and of himself. We will miss his great stories, his impeccable demeanor, his humor, his heart and his enthusiasm for our students as they write their worlds. Rest in Peace, dear Sterling.
