Meet Jean Josey

Jean Josey has been a Dublin resident for over two decades and has been an active volunteer and advocate in our community. Starting with providing help to the teacher in her daughter’s co-op preschool class, she has held many diverse leadership roles.  She held elected positions on the Parent Faculty Club (PFC) and/or Site Council for each school her children attended, helped to establish by-laws for the PFCs for some of Dublin’s newest elementary schools, served as an assistant soccer coach for the Dublin United Soccer League, led a Girl Scout troop, chaired the long-running Wells Middle School Crab Feed, and co-chaired the Dublin High School Every 15 Minutes program. Prior to serving on City Council, Jean was also appointed to serve on the City of Dublin’s Fiscal Sustainability Task Force.

Her volunteer work and leadership in Dublin has earned her the Dublin Unified School District Volunteer Recognition award (2012) and the DUSD Superintendent’s Award (2016).

In 2016 Jean was named the Dublin Citizen of the Year.

Jean currently works for the Dublin Unified School District as the coordinator of the Dublin High School tutoring program. She oversees the tutoring staff of 10-14 tutors, and tutors math, physics and English.  She grew up in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, and earned her B.S. degree from the University of Washington in Seattle. Her two children, who both graduated from Dublin High, have flown the nest to pursue their dreams.
