Brandon Willard

Cerro Gordo,IL

Summary

I am a dynamic educational leader with a proven track record at Cerro Gordo Community School District. Throughout my tenure I have worked hard to significantly improve student test scores, 5-Essential Survey results, ISBE school score designations, and community relations. I work extremely hard to build relationships with students, teachers, parents, and community members. I have proven the ability to balance a multitude of responsibilities at the highest level. I think "outside the box" and regularly develop creative ways to solve the problems that smaller school districts may struggle with.
