- Hamish Brewer is a born motivator. The New Zealander with an infectious energy served as principal of Occoquan Elementary, a school serving a large low-income and immigrant community. His unique leadership approach turned Occoquan from a struggling school with sagging test scores into one of the best schools in the state. Now, he’s in his first year at a new school, tasked with spearheading the same transformation he led at Occoquan. Can he replicate his remarkable success at Fred Lynn Middle School? Watch our documentary to see this relentless principal in action.

The passion with this guy...needs to run the Dept. of Education
Lol Betsy DeVos😂😂😂
I love how you can tell that his attitude affects the entire school, not just the students, but the teachers and parents too. Very powerful!
Mr. Brewer is very energetic and serious about reversing the attitudes of staleness in schools. Change will definitely be the rule now at Fred Lynn MS. When a principal can get teachers excited about teaching again; with new ways of thinking and sharing that is the start of a revolution within the hearts and minds of our children today. Move FORWARD and BE THAT CHANGE! I am GLAD for FRED LYNN MS.
"If no one told you today that they loved you.. Mr Brews loves you." Oh my GOD. Knowing how many people needed to hear that. Knowing how many KIDS needed to hear that-- because they come from tragedy. The hope being put back into the school, the love going into it.. But those words, that sentence.. I hope he says something similar every day. I love that so much. So many people need it. Even the teachers, I'm sure.
Mr. Brewer visited my daughter's middle school today, and she couldn't wait to show me this video. I love his spirit and attitude to LOVE and HELP the kids!
Humanity can be saved, this gives me hope from the higher ups, the children, this channel and finally this amazing passionate principal!❤️☮️
Mr. Brewer was the best and most memorable principal I have ever had.
My school is kind of like this. The vice principal will come around to different classes and hang out with us, we call all of our teachers by their first names, we’re actually friends with our teachers, we have connections with them, they try to understand us and I love it so much
Wow. This actually made me cry. What an incredible story and man. I was very privileged growing up but our school was very diverse and I remember friends saying how little support they felt they had and how the school systems were designed to focus more energy into students who already have advantages that put them closer to colleges/career opportunities. This is amazing, hopefully more educators will watch this and incite change at their schools
It’s amazing how an inspired and hardworking head teacher can turn a failing school around.I am sure he inspires the teachers too.He gives the children self respect by respecting them.
He is the reason I was able to sleep easy taking my son from private to public school!
Dude looks like he's about to drop a sick verse with witty rhymes
What do u mean
Every teacher should be interviewed by him, every school set up by his standards.
It's the parents job to shape their child, and many fail, and at this age group they can still be shaped and nurtured to be better. If every teacher, every school, took a leaf from his book, the next generation would be much improved.
I’m going to Fred Lynn next year, I’m so excited! My brother used to go to Fred Lynn.
I think it’s inspiring and important how engaged the people are when listening to him speak.
This guy sure knows our business of education. It’s what the whole of education across the continent needs.
if my principal was like that i would not have dropped out.bless this man and everyone like him.our world would have a much better chance if there were more like him.
so amazing! Mr. Alsheimer is still killing it, my dude!
I remember mr brewer from occoquan... good times
Bearver samee
Same
I LOVE THIS SCHOOL SO MUCH I hope he never leaves cause these will be the three years of my life I will cry if he ever leave tbh
LOVE YOU MR.BREWER AND TY FOR BEING MOTIVATION FOR ME AND EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO FRED LYNN
He left 😢
This was amazing. We need more people like him in this world.
It can be done. Well done sir. I hope the faculty know how truly blessed they are. I'm sure the students are learning!
Damn I got emotional, this is just what I needed back in school. I'm so glad college is more like this.
Just watched this in my ODU instructional leadership class. You rock! I definitely gravitate towards your leadership style.
Ayo I used to go to this school back when I lived in northern Virginia, I’m pretty sure I moved and changed middle schools right when this guy became principal but my jaw dropped when I saw this video in my home feed
The world needs this kind of dynamic leader. KEEP IT UP!
I've found my new role model. Hells yes!
Same OMG!!! This guy is amazing. Classrooms need disruption, especially in this day and day. Love this video, and I'm glad to say that I'm going to be a principal too.
GO MISS BOND THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME SINGING VOCALS!
Lightning Flash 🎶❤️😎
absolutely inspiring!
Omg I need to move to VA! We need more Administrators like this!!
This gives me hope for our future.
This brings me back to when I was at FLMS. Mr. Brewer was a RELENTLESS principal
I wanna be like this guy in every aspect in regards to being an educator.
This is incredible. I hope to be a motivating principal one day!
My granddaughters principal retired last year. He was also my children's principal when they were in school. Now my granddaughters are being home schooled. The new principal is not taking that school in a good direction. I'm so glad to see this man giving his all to these children.
Wow! I'm moved to tears! Love this!
Even my church showed me this I love mr brewer
my high school students knew we were a family. we weren't complete if someone was absent. we shared food, clothes, supplies. children paced in the back of the classroom or laid on the floor to do their work. they had to be comfortable in order to stay engaged. i wasn't evaluating if they could sit in a chair for x number of minutes; i was evaluating how well they were interacting with the information. we were project oriented. i've retired, and i miss it all. students from 20 years ago still send me emails. teach because you're excited about your students' opportunities.
Love you so so much thank u for makeing my school better 6ths gread is going to be awsome
Its so werid that the school changed so fast (i go to the school 😉)
MemesOnSunrise same!!!!

MR.BREWER you are the best principle I've ever had all the pep rally all the times you say "if nobody has told you they loved you mr.brewer is telling you he loves you" and you are the best principle and I'm gonna rock my tests becuz of you
Mr aaaaaaaaaaaaaalshimer the best teacher I had last year
XIChrisJerichoIX FLASH
He did a speech at my school today
As a freshman who went to Fred Lynn for all three years, I just gotta say that nothing's changed at all. Didn't really care about the eighth graders at all. Everything's stayed the same except for a couple of murals. Heck, now they even have a brand new gym. All of the "new and improved" installments happened once all of the eighth graders left.
And that is all cap
I'm soo excited because I'm going Aug 26 2019 for middle school
I'm going to fred Lynn for 6th grade
Inspiring!!
Leadership is everything.
This is my principal 😂
What does buy in mean? Thanks
1:20 that's the exact mascot of my school. The yellowjacket.
The first minute of this video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😥😥.
Glad you liked it! We'll send your compliments to the director :)
Oh my God Occoquan was my elementary school, and Fred Lynn was my middle school 😭😍 Memories ~
This school is awesome LOVE YOU MR.BREWER Btw its Antwon Malone
We need a principal to come turn our school around. Come to northern Michigan.
Well done! Super stuff here to emulate across the globe:) Thank you
Beautiful.
Good job 👌
I love this
We ❤️ Hamish
This school is so cool mr.fred lynn
is like the best principal ever I think no other principal would be this fun and energetic I would love to go to this school but I live in New York so I don’t know if this school is in New York :(
Fred Lynn is the Best middle school ever
I go to that school and I am in 6 grade
Good man.
Super inspiring!
a little danger is what he arknowledged as the gang mentalityimportant for there to be feedback loops, and the quieter one's to be heard as wellotherwise it can become a bit culty...
This guy needs to write administration curriculum for master degree programs.
Dear Mr Brower, please come to America
I saw myself in a part
5:11 ok the Obama mural is a bit tone-deaf and disrespectful to the other great people there.
yep!
He came to my school yesterday
Awesome
I wish I could spawn this guy in my school
1:47 I was in that class I'm wearing blue lol
How can I reach you for tips to start up a school? Superb video... Keep it up
I never thought this would be possible.
i wish i was in this school
Hopefully the ideas spread. Good luck with school!
I wonder if a movie about this will be made someday
Nice dude😄😄😄
Glad you liked it!
I was in this video😃
Really? Steve Jobs with Dr. King... in the same sentence. One of the greatest civil rights activists who ever lived, and the obscenely rich guy who figured out how to make a gadget appeal to the masses, just casually tossed out as though there isn't a massive disparity of greatness there? I mean, why not Tesla instead of Jobs. An actual super genius, who did nothing but selflessly pursue science in an attempt to provide free unmeterable electricity to everyone and invented the foundations of modern industry. Jobs' only real talent was reading the market and directing engineers to a kind of impressive end. I mean, I wouldn't be caught dead with an apple product, but it has it's market. Oh, and building a massive cult of personality, so there's that.
Dang it’s been so long
Great guy
Please put some new videos of Fred Lynn school case I really my beautiful school 2019
I love our school but I think that they tend to "box" the kids in! Limiting them! As much as he is a GREAT principal... he really needs to be teaching others about how to be a principal. Instead of affecting one school at a time...start affecting the NATION.
lol I go here now this is literally my principal xD
This guy needs to be on TEDx
4:20 OH YEAH MR.PLUMMER
8:23 oh yeah MR.PLUMMER
bOI
Nikxon- ayyyyyy
