Ali Abdel

Principal

My name is Ali Abdel, Principal of Hope of Detroit Academy since 2010. I have had the privilege to work at Hope of Detroit since 2003. During my tenure I have served in various roles such as Office Manager, Dean of Students and Assistant Principal. I am a native Detroiter that has lived in the Southwest Community for over 35 years. Serving as a school leader has been truly a dream come true. In my pastime, I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and camping. I am currently pursuing my Doctoral Degree in Educational Leadership at The University of Phoenix.
