Brig Leane, former principal of Fruita Middle School in Colorado, has over 20 years of experience in education. He has been an assistant principal and has taught at the middle and high school levels in inner-city, suburban, and rural schools. He has also been an adjunct professor at Colorado Christian University.
Under Brig’s leadership as principal, Fruita Middle School’s organizational health index grew from the lowest to the highest levels. As a teacher, Brig learned the power of the PLC learning community process firsthand, as his math team grew students more than any other team, in any grade, in any tested subject in his 22,000-student school district.
Education is Brig’s second career, following his successful service as an officer in the US Coast Guard, having attained the rank of lieutenant commander. He graduated with honors from the United States Coast Guard Academy with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and served as an officer for many years on humanitarian missions around the nation. He was selected as a Troops-to-Teachers recipient and has master’s degrees in business administration and educational leadership from Colorado Mesa University.
