“Dan Edwards is honored to serve on the GRC Board. As school board chair I presented the school’s charter request to the State Board of Education for approval and was thus involved in “birthing” the school a decade ago. I have wanted to become more involved in the support and governance of the incredible work it is doing.”

I believe in treating everyone with love, respect and equality in day to day life. This beautiful city and country has given me much, much more than I could imagine and now it’s my term and time to give back to my community, city, state and country. I can not change everything and everyone but if I can bring a smile to a few faces, I think it brings worth to my life. I want to make sure every single student at Green Run Collegiate gets what they deserve and it’s my moral responsibility to fulfill their needs in whatever way I can.

“The opportunity to serve young people and meet them where they are is a great opportunity for me. I believe I can help steer those individuals that aren’t sure where they want to go, but know they want to go wherever their imagination will take them. I hope to inspire young people to be proud of who they are and where they come from. To desire for the time where opportunities will meet their preparation. When this happens they will not just be prepared but knock the door off the hinges.”
