Meet Ms. Brown

Greetings Manassas City Families and Community Members,

I’m Diana Brown, a dedicated educational advocate with a profound personal journey that began in Honduras. As a proud mother of three adult children and a loving grandmother to two energetic preschoolers, my life has been deeply enriched by my commitment to family.

As an immigrant, I know firsthand the challenges of learning a new language and navigating a new culture. I understand the remarkable resilience and determination required to achieve academic goals. My personal experiences have provided me with invaluable insights into the struggles and triumphs associated with adapting to new environments and pursuing educational success. These experiences fuel my passion for providing competent and experienced representation on the Manassas City School Board.

I believe that understanding and addressing the unique needs of students is crucial. I am committed to using my background and expertise to make a meaningful impact in Manassas City Public Schools. My candid understanding of the complexities of adapting to new circumstances positions me as a strong advocate for effective and empathetic leadership.

MY EXPERIENCE :

With over 25 years of experience as an educator, I have dedicated my career to advocating for teachers and students alike. My journey has been driven by a passion for advancing education and strengthening our community. Throughout my career, I’ve actively worked to support and uplift our schools, striving to create an environment where both educators and students can thrive. My deep commitment to these causes has shaped my vision for a better future on the school board.
