Rockford Principal Named GR’s Most Inspiring Principal by grkids.com in their Best of Grand Rapids 2025 GRANDTASTIC Awards contest.
Jeremy Karel, the principal of Valley View Elementary, has been named GR’s Most Inspiring Principal for his hard work and dedication to students and schools.
In addition to helping students, Mr. Karel works hard to support teachers. By creating a place where teachers can share ideas and work together, he makes sure that everyone is constantly learning and growing. He makes our schools a place where all students and staff can feel valued and important.
Mr. Karel is an example of the work that our RPS administrators do every day! We are grateful for the work of our principals and proud of Mr. Karel’s deserving award.
