Valerie Lowry Woodhaven-Brownstown School Board Trustee

08/21/2026

As a parent of a student who lived through a bus fire last year, I am so proud of how the WBSD leadership has responded. Providing clear and consistent education opportunities to not only the transportation staff, but teachers, coaches, and students.

Crisis moments create opportunity and the WBSD has risen to the challenge!

Our Woodhaven Athletic Department is raising the standard!!!!

It is my absolute favorite thing to see our high school athletic programs and high school athletes working with the community to grow their love and passion for their craft! I’m sure there are more diverse opportunities, these are just the ones I have come across.

Woodhaven provides opportunities for ALL students and career paths!

12/10/2025

Superintendent Greathead is leaving huge shoes to fill, but his retirement is well deserved and we are so happy for what’s to come for him and his family. We are committed to finding a new superintendent that aligns with the warrior way!!

After 15 years of dedicated leadership, Superintendent Mark Greathead has announced his retirement, effective June 30, 2026.

Under his guidance, WBSD has grown academically, expanded opportunities for students, enhanced facilities, and strengthened its financial foundation. We are deeply appreciative of his service and look forward to celebrating his impact with our community.

This!!! A perfect addition to what we already do for safety and responsiveness.

The Woodhaven-Brownstown School District installed a new technology that allows teachers to press a button on their lanyard in case there’s an emergency.

I take such pride in the tools, equipment, and training that have been put in place in my last 3 years on the school board. Safety is a continuous process improvement topic amongst our administrators and board. The WBSD never hesitates to make thoughtful and thorough changes when safety concerns present themselves.
