GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (GRPS) – The best part of Theron Brown’s day at Grand Rapids Montessori often comes before the first bell even rings.
“What I enjoy most is the start of the day,” he said. Brown is the Dean of Students at Grand Rapids Montessori Academy and Grand Rapids Montessori Middle High. “Seeing scholars early in the morning is an opportunity for me to set the tone for the day. Building relationships and being a positive role model is very important for me.”
Theron chose to work at GRPS because he felt called to serve where he was needed most.
"It would have been easy to go elsewhere, but being a God-fearing man, I listened to Him, and He led me to GRPS," Brown explained.
His commitment to the district is evident in his daily interactions with scholars, providing them with both consistency and encouragement.
"They know I am approachable and easy to talk to,” he said. “They know they can count on me to be present and also be an advocate for them."
Through his leadership, he fosters a welcoming and supportive school environment, ensuring that every scholar knows they have someone in their corner.
