Meet Grand River Preparatory High School Principal Mike Irwin

Mike Irwin successfully guided Grand River Prep through hybrid learning in first year as principal. Since then he has built a team that is driven by systems of accountability that give everyone common goals to attain together. That environment has produced a low staff turnover rate and fostered professional growth, both major factors that have contributed to the school outperforming the local district. He believes that all of these things make Grand River Prep a great example of everything that’s good about school choice.
