High School Teacher of the Year
Davison High School teacher Ryan Kelsey was named as the 2025-26 High School Teacher of the Year. Ryan teaches art at Davison High School and received several nominations from parents and co-workers. One wrote:
"Mr. Kelsey has spent the majority of his 30-year career transforming the lives of his students and the halls of Davison High School. His art classes have applied the lessons learned in his class to real-world murals that bring life and excitement to the school. His passion for environmental conservation has blossomed into actual gardens on school grounds. Students are able to see how their work manifests in ways that bring joy to others. There is no greater purpose as a human than to share one's enthusiasm in a way that is accessible to others. Mr. Kelsey is a reminder of this purpose. He is an inspiration for his students, colleagues, and the community."
Mr. Kelsey is also a co-sponsor of the DHS Environmental Club and was key in the development of the Cardinal Garden, an on-site garden where students plant and harvest vegetables throughout the summer. He also participates in the Michigan DNR's Salmon in the Classroom program and has been working the past couple of years trying to obtain a Safe Routes to School grant to improve the walking and biking conditions for the students of Davison Community Schools.

Middle Level Teacher of the Year
Davison Middle School teacher Janet Green was selected as the Davison Educational Foundation Middle Level Teacher of the Year. Janet teaches 8th grade history at Davison Middle School and is responsible for organizing the 8th Grade Washington DC trip each year.
Ms. Green received four nominations, all from students, including one who wrote:
"I think Ms. Green should be awarded Teacher/Support Person of the Year because she makes the classroom environment feel safe. She understands that kids sit at desks all day and that our brains are still developing, and makes sure to find ways to make her lessons fun. She always makes sure to explain stuff the best she can, finding creative ways to keep us engaged in her lessons. She embraces our creativity and goes above and beyond to support her students, even when she's not at school. Earlier this year, I sent her the link to my live dance competition and asked if she wanted to watch my singing solo. It was my first time singing at a competition, and I expressed how nervous I was because I was coming down with a cold and it was starting to affect my voice. The day before she set a timer on her phone to make sure she didn't miss my performance. When I came to school the next day, she congratulated me and told me how good my performance was. I knew my singing wasn't the best but her enthusiasm and support made me feel a little better about it. I really appreciated how she was there for me, even when she was busy. She has always loved us like her own and always gives us her full undivided attention. She is one of my favorite teachers."

Elementary Teacher of the Year
The Davison Educational Foundation Elementary Teacher of the Year for the 2025-26 school year is Mrs. Andrea Bell. Andrea teaches Developmental Kindergarten (DK) at Thomson Elementary.
Andrea was nominated by Marty Quertermous, Davison High School Early College Coordinator, who wrote:
“Mrs. Bell partnered with the Davison Early College program to lead the Kindness Garden project, a unique initiative that brought together Early College and DK students to explore and promote acts of kindness. Through this partnership, Mrs. Bell opened her classroom — and coordinated with other teachers — to create a welcoming environment where Early College students mentored younger students. Together, they engaged in discussions and hands-on activities centered on the importance of being kind. A highlight of the project was painting kindness-themed rocks, which became part of the Thomson Kindness Rock Garden — a lasting and visual representation of the project’s message. Mrs. Bell’s dedication to bridging age groups and programs demonstrates her innovative spirit and deep care for her school community. Her work has fostered a school culture where kindness is not only taught but actively practiced and celebrated.”

Support Person of the Year
The Davison Educational Foundation's Support Person of the Year award goes to Mrs. Connie Trombley. Connie serves as the Secretary to the Principal at Davison Alternative Education. Connie received nine nominations, including one from a co-worker who wrote:
“Connie Trombley is the heart of DAE. She cares deeply about her students and staff, always willing to go above and beyond for anyone in need. When it comes to parents, Connie ensures they receive all the information necessary to support their children's success, whether it's straightforward or difficult to discuss. For students, she consistently goes the extra mile—offering comfort during tough times, making wake-up calls to encourage them to attend school because she understands the importance of their presence, and being there to provide snacks or advice whenever needed. She constantly thinks of ways to bring students together and support them in any way she can. Connie is retiring this year, and she will be greatly missed. There is no one who can truly replace her, but we will do our best. She deserves the best retirement because she has been exceptional for DAE. It's time for her to embark on new adventures, but I know she will always be the best support staff DAE has ever had!"

Marsha and her husband, Bill, have two children, Abbie, 28, and son Rudy, 30.
Charlotte Dotson
Charlotte is retiring as the District’s Special Education Coordinator. Before she was hired at DCS in July 2018, Charlotte worked in the Atherton and Mt. Morris school districts.
Charlotte said when she was hired as the Special Education coordinator she felt like she had “won the lottery.” When she became a special education teacher Charlotte said it was her dream to do more than teach academics and this position fulfilled that.
Charlotte has been married to her husband, Brian, for 40 years. They have a daughter Emily, who is married to Jon, and they have two children, Charlotte, 8, and Nolan, 5. Son Kyle and his wife, Hannah, live in Myrtle Beach and are expecting their first child in December.
Andrea Ferguson
Andrea joined DCS in 2017 after a 17-year career as a math teacher at Brandon High School. She taught math at Davison High School for two years before she was promoted to Assistant Principal at Davison Middle School. She held that position for three years before moving into her current job as an Assistant Principal at Davison High School.
Andrea says she plans to kick off retirement by concentrating on summer at first, which means playing as much golf as possible and soaking up some rest and relaxation. She is also excited that for the first time ever, she will be able to see her kids off on their first day of school. Once that bus drives away, then she will start thinking about what’s next.
Looking back, Andrea says that she will always remember the students she connected with, especially the girls on her golf teams, the student aides and kids who just liked to hang out in her classroom. She will also never forget the laughs she has shared with co-workers. Those shared stories and inside jokes are memories that she will carry with her for a long time.
Andrea and her husband, Todd, have a daughter, Blake, 9, and son, Nik who is 8.
Deanna Campbell
Deanna began working at Davison Community Schools on January 9, 2006, as a cook at Davison High School. She worked there 11 years, and then took a head cook position at Siple Elementary for five years before coming back to the high school the last three years to finish her career there.
Deanna plans to spend her retirement making lots of Grammy visits with her grandchildren in North Carolina. She also plans on spending more time with her mom and watching her great nieces and nephews from Goodrich playing baseball, softball, basketball and football. She and her husband, Bill, also enjoy watching summer concerts in the park.
One of Deanna's memorable moments in her career happened when she went back to work at the high school.
"it was so rewarding to see some of my Siple kids there," she said. "One special boy recognized me and pointed to my hair and said 'You were brown!!' I laughed and said 'Yes I was, but now I'm a Grandma so my hair is gray!'"
Deanna and her husband have been married for 34 years. They have a son, Tim, of Huntersville, N.C.; son, Tony and wife, Emily, live in Berkley, Mich.; and daughter, Melissa Jones, lives in North Carolina with her husband, Chris, 2-year-old daughter, Mia, and a baby boy is due August 20, 2025.
Bradlee Clegg
Bradlee joined the staff at Davison Middle School in 2003, coming from the Lansing public school district where he taught the first five years of his career.
Bradlee’s retirement plan is to move back to Lansing to be closer to family.
One of the most memorable moments from Bradlee’s career occurred when one of his students, who normally participated in class, fell asleep. After waking the student, Bradlee asked him if he was OK and the student said: “Yes, just tired. Our cows got out last night.”
Bradlee is married to Margaret.
Kirk Hansen
Since hiring in at Davison Middle School in 2002, teacher Kirk Hansen has encouraged and supported hundreds of his eighth-grade students as they participated in the Flint Area Regional Science Fair. Kirk himself has been honored several times as the Flint Science Fair’s Teacher of the Year. Another accolade he proudly points out is that he earned the title of “Dancin’, Prancin’ Hansen,” after winning a dance competition while on the 2008 student trip to Washington, D.C.
Kirk’s retirement plans include working on projects around the house, rock collecting, fishing and traveling.
Kirk has been married to Alison for 22 years. She is an engineer. They have three girls: Anna is currently a 10th grader at DHS who loves marching band, HOSA and Science Olympiad; Abby is currently an 8th grader at DMS who enjoys volleyball and tennis and Aryn is a 6th grader at Hahn who enjoys drawing, volleyball and tennis. The family enjoys traveling to the National Parks.
Brooke Piger
Brooke is retiring as a science & AP Biology teacher at Davison High School. She started her career in Goodrich where she taught a variety of science courses at the secondary level and coached track, cross country and volleyball. She has spent the last 24 years at Davison teaching mostly biology courses and has been an online teacher, Davison Virtual Education mentor, athletic supervisor, ticket taker and summer school teacher as well as a coach for high school volleyball, basketball at Hahn and cross country at Davison Middle School.
Brooke plans to enjoy her summer since, after all, it will be one of her first summers off in a long time as she taught summer school most summers. After that, she plans to explore her options to figure out what is next.
When it comes to memorable moments, Brooke said there are so many! However, one she shared is that one time when students were dissecting frogs, a student asked her what something was. It was a small rodent in the stomach of the frog and, according to Brooke, it was not just cool but very cool!
Brooke is married to Jerry and they have two kids: Grant is a senior at MSU and Kaylyn will be at DMS next year.
Trevor Smith
Trevor has already begun to enjoy retirement, finishing his teaching career at Davison High School after the first semester.
Trevor’s journey as an educator began in the fall of 1993 as a student teacher at Flint Northern High School. He was hired in August 1994 to teach seventh and eight grade social studies at LakeVille Middle School. The following year he moved to LakeVille High School and taught every social studies and English course except senior English and journalism during his time there. In 2001 Trevor was hired to teach U.S. history and cultural studies at Davison High School. He finished his career teaching U.S. history and government.
Trevor’s retirement plans are to relax, take some trips, visit his boys in Pittsburgh, including watching his youngest son play college hockey, and enjoy time at the family place on Higgins Lake.
As far as memorable events, Trevor says he remembers playing stick ball baseball with his eighth grade LakeVille students as part of a lesson on sports history. He also remembers having students design and build models of a proposed Cold War History Museum with fellow DHS teachers Mike Hull and TJ Fischhaber.
Trevor is married to Lorie, who also retired in January from Davison. They have two sons, Logan and Camden.
Connie Trombley
Connie is retiring as the principal’s secretary at Davison Alternative Education but her career began as the marketing teacher’s assistant at Gaylord High School in 1995.

In 2013, she changed roles and became a secretary for the assistant principal at the high school. It was a position she held until 2018 when she went to the Alternative Education building.
From 2006 to 2024, Connie also coached the Davison Busters Skeet team.
Connie and her husband are moving to Hubbard Lake Michigan where they plan to fish a lot, golf and see the country in a camper!
Connie says there are too many great memories to share but the annual Pancakes with the Principal will always stand out! Every year since she started at DAE they have served pancakes hot off the griddle to all of the DAE students who attend on Count Day.
Connie and her husband, Mike, have been married for 24 years. They share six children and three grandchildren. They also have Dutch, a spoiled German Shorthaired Pointer that they love like a child.
Mary Ignatowski
When Mary was hired in the fall of 1999, it was to teach math at Davison High School. In 2007 she started teaching physics and has continued to do so until her retirement. Before coming to Davison, she taught at Hartford High School.
Mary is looking forward to putzing around in her garden and taking a vacation to the Soo Locks to watch the boats go by.
One memorable moment for Mary happened one day when a student ran into class right before the bell rang, plugged in an electric razor and started shaving. Mary asked him “what are you doing?” He said, “I overslept. You told me not to be late to class anymore.”
Mary’s advice to her successor is this: “My mentor teacher told me early on “do you want to yell for the next 30 years or laugh for the next 30 years? They are just goofy kids. Choose laughter.”
Kathleen Morris
Kathy began her career at Davison Community Schools in 1999 as a part-time clerk at Thomson Elementary. In 2006 she became a support secretary in the Superintendent’s/Communications office and in 2010 she took on the additional responsibilities of employee insurance benefits and Personnel secretary.
Prior to working for DCS, Kathy worked at St. John’s Church for one year and the Genesee Intermediate School District for six years.
Kathy’s immediate retirement plan is to enjoy the summer as this will be the first one she has had off in 20 years. She said she can hardly wait to sleep in and then have her coffee on the deck in the mornings, exercise every day, play in the dirt (in her flower beds), spend time at the lake with her grandsons, and check out all the cool places in Michigan that she has not yet seen.
Kathy is married to Scott. They have a daughter, Bethany, son-in-law Abe and two grandsons, Leander, 5, and Teddy, 2, who live in Plainwell, Michigan. Kathy and Scott’s son, Christian and daughter-in-law Hailee, live in North Carolina. Kathy also has two cats, Harry and Missy.

Erin is married to Ryan. They have two children, Cameron and Katie, both Davison High School graduates. Cameron is also a graduate of Michigan State University and Katie will be entering her junior year at Michigan State. Erin’s parents live down the street from her and she looks forward to having more time to spend with them.
Erin’s advice to her successor is to “work hard, but laugh harder. Have high expectations for your students. More often than not, they will exceed them. Find the joy in everyday small successes, for yourself, your colleagues and your kids. The small victories tend to keep you going, just when you need them the most.”
Karen Thompson
Karen is retiring as the counselor at Hill Elementary.
Karen began working in education in 1992 as the traveling art teacher for eight one-room schools in Huron County. Then she worked at North Huron for a half year and taught K-12 art in Brown City for five years before being hired as the art teacher for Hahn Intermediate in 1999.

Karen’s husband, Allen, has been teaching construction at Bay Mills College for three years, where he is the director of the construction department.

Dena Downey
Dena retired at the end of December as the DK-12 ELA and Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator. She began her career as a teacher in 1989 at Kalkaska Middle School. She worked at Davison Middle School for a time accepting a position at Dryden Elementary and then came to Davison Middle School, teaching 6th-7th grade math, ELA and social studies. She served as a curriculum coordinator for the last nine years of her career.
Dena has moved to South Carolina where she works on her golf game.
There are many memorable moments from her career but Dena said probably one that stands out the most is when a former student contacted her recently to let her know that one of her sayings was instrumental in her life.
"She asked for me to write it down and then had it tattooed on her arm in my handwriting," Dena said.
The saying? "Choose to be exemplary, because you are!"
Dena is married to Bob, who is retired and also working on his golf game. Their oldest daughter, Madeline, is married and lives in Greenville, SC. Isabelle is recently married and currently lives in Oakland County. Son, Owen, just moved to Chicago and is a financial analyst. Dena also has a granddaughter, Leila, who is 4 1/2 and is her little buddy! Leila keeps bugging her mom for a brother or a sister, so Dena is hopeful she will have more grandbabies on the way in the near future!!
Lorie Smith
Lorie’s entire teaching career has been here at Davison Community Schools. She began as a student teacher in the fall of 1992 at Davison Middle School and was hired in November 1993 to teach sixth and seventh grades. When Hahn Intermediate opened in 1998, Lorie moved into the new building teaching sixth grade until 2010 when she moved back to the middle school to teach eighth grade math. She finished her career teaching math advancement.
Just like her husband, Trevor, Lorie retired after the first semester and is enjoying the chance to relax at the family cottage on Higgins Lake, take trips and visit her boys in Pittsburgh.
Lorie said teaching on her sixth grade team holds the most memories. Field trips to Ligon, canoeing, hosting lock-ins, bowling, competing in the staff vs. student volleyball games, and all the costumes and shenanigans with the team’s skeleton, Pedro, are the most memorable.
Lorie is married to Trevor, and they have two sons, Logan and Camden.
Jan Crawford
Jan first came to DCS in September of 1990 as a student teacher from Michigan State University assigned to Alice Hartman, a fourth grade teacher at Central Elementary. A few short months later, Jan was hired as a long-term substitute teacher for third grade Gates Elementary teacher Sharon Hammer. She became “official” in 1991 when she was hired as a third grade teacher at Gates. In 1994, Jan transferred to Davison Middle School to teach language arts, social studies and health. Jan developed and taught Broadcasting Basics as an elective in 2016 and in 2019 went back to teaching careers and health.
Jan’s retirement plans include taking time to catch up with her retired friends, travel, enjoy MSU tailgates with her family and read while she will likely search for the perfect part-time job.
Jan is married to Alex, who is still working at Stryker. Son, Ethan, 23, is living in Chicago working for Weber Grill in supply chain and daughter Sloane is 21 and finishing up her degree in marketing and sales leadership at Michigan State University.
In sharing advice to her successor, Jan has the following to say: “I was so fortunate to have my mom, a teacher for 55 years in Grand Blanc, as my daily motivator and inspiration to constantly strive to be a better teacher and be there for my kids each and every day. This is a challenging job as we all know, so don’t lose sight of the rewarding part - keep making those positive differences for the kids who need you.”
