Mrs. Delores Jones-Bell comes to SPES with educating students and a focus on teaching and learning as her main priority. Prior to coming to SPES, her professional career began as a High School History and Technology teacher 19 years ago, with the Leona Group. She has held positions as a School Leader at Academy for Business and Technology in Melvindale, MI, a Teacher and Assistant School Leader at South Pointe Elementary School, and a School Leader at Joy Preparatory Academy in Detroit, MI. In all positions that she has held her approach is always student-centered for academic excellence. Mrs. Bell's most significant initiative is to provide the leadership that will facilitate a respectful and safe school environment that fosters a culture of excellence and a commitment to learning. She holds high expectations for our staff, parents, and students, as well as herself to educate from the heart to guarantee that our students have the skills needed to employ themselves as life-long learners.  Mrs. Bell's goal is to ensure that  SPES staff continues to strive to educate the whole child, thereby empowering our school and community.  Mrs. Bell believes that South Pointe Elementary School will not only make a difference in the community; we will be the difference in the South Phoenix Community.​
