Testimonials
Principal “B”
"IV Bray is an exceptional principal coach/mentor whose guidance leans in to elevate both leadership capacity and schoolwide outcomes in culture and achievement. He brings a thoughtful balance of support and reflective challenge, and helped me as a first year principal to reflect deeply, make strategic decisions, and move forward with clarity. His insight, professionalism, and rich experience makes him a true value-add partner in the work."
Retired Principal, Doctor “J”
"Mr. Bray possesses a rare blend of leadership skills and teaching ability, along with a keen understanding of what it means to be an ethical educator. While I was already an experienced leader when I began working with Mr. Bray, I learned a great deal from him about navigating difficult leadership situations, challenging the brightest and most talented teachers, and—most importantly—living a more balanced life that prioritizes what truly matters.
He has a remarkable ability to know when to push someone to be their best and when to throttle down and play a supportive role, all while maintaining high expectations for excellence. I became a better educator and a better human being because of his mentorship and guidance. Mr. Bray played a profound role in my personal and professional development, and if he started a school today, I would come out of retirement to work for him."
Assistant Principal “L”
"Mr. Bray is the single most influential person in my leadership journey. He took me under his wing from day one and he has been steadfast in mentoring/modeling/coaching/guiding/believing in me to ensure I reach heights I did not know were possible. He identifies your strengths and uses them to help you strengthen your areas for growth. He treats every interaction as an opportunity to leave the person better than before. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Bray to anyone looking to strengthen their (or their team’s) leadership capacity."
