Hi!  My name is Julie-Anne Z. Dean, and I am the principal at Vines High School.  This is my 3rd year as the Vines principal; 16th year as a secondary prinicpal and 25th year in secondary education.  I attended Southern Methodist University (SMU) and grduated with a degree in English and double minor in history and sociology.  For my post graduate studies, I attended University of North Texas where I earned a Masters in Education Administration.  I began my first year teaching in inner city Dallas and have been with Plano ISD ever since!  

I absolutely love what I do...my students keep me youthful and feed my soul!  There is no greater gift than teaching, nurturing, guiding and caring for our children.
