Native of Memphis gives back to his hometown

Thank you all for supporting the New Leaders Giving Tuesday Campaign! Your contributions support Brian, a principal in the Memphis, Tennessee area.

Brian roots for the underdog. He can always appreciate those who work diligently to overcome their challenges — whether citizens of his beloved hometown Memphis or his students.

Prior to joining New Leaders, Brian taught grades 3-6 in Memphis City Schools. He also participated in the Emerging Leaders Program last year, where he utilized what he learned about data driven instruction to drive gains for his students. On the year-end state test, 87 percent of his students scored proficient or advanced. Brian is eager to positively impact teachers and students and use the skills and information he is gaining from New Leaders to make an even larger difference in a school.
