Hello Families!

My name is Ben Gilpin and I'm thrilled to make a positive difference in your child's life each and every day!  A few things about me are, this is my 8th year as Warner Principal and eighteenth year in education.  I have spent my entire career in elementary schools.  I have my Masters in Education through Spring Arbor University and my Leadership Certificate through Eastern Michigan.

 I am passionate about leadership, positive relationships, continuous improvement, connected learning, and making differences in the lives of others. Additionally I blog and have mutliple podcasts on education.  One of the podcasts is through the Bam Radio Network titled #Unearthed.  The second podcast features Michigan Principals. I have passion for giving back to the profession by presenting at local, state, and national professional learning conferences about digital leadership, learning spaces, continuous improvement and developing leadership capacity.

When not at school I enjoy being active and spending time with family.  I love to run and to get outdoors with my wife, Amy, and two boys, Drew and Troy.  Our family calls Spring Arbor home and we truly enjoy being part of a supportive community.
