Principal

Welcome to Brookfield CSD! 

As the Principal of Brookfield CSD, I am honored to lead a school that truly values the unique contributions of every individual. After serving for over 25 years as a fourth-grade teacher and math specialist at BCS, I understand the importance of fostering a strong relationship between teachers, students, and the broader community. It’s this connection that makes Brookfield CSD such a special place.

Our success is rooted in our dedication to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for all students. We believe that together—parents, faculty, staff, and community members—we can provide the very best education possible for our children.

Our Educational Philosophy
At Brookfield CSD, we are not just preparing students for the present, but for a bright and exciting future. Education is not just about memorization and tests—it's about developing skills that students will carry with them for a lifetime. That’s why we’re proud to be leading the way into the future of education with our Plan Pilot Program—an innovative approach that emphasizes performance-based learning and assessments. This allows students to demonstrate their understanding through real-world applications and ongoing growth.

What Makes Us Special
At BCS, our dedicated faculty and staff work tirelessly to provide personalized support for every student. But what truly sets us apart is our amazing students. They bring enthusiasm, creativity, and a spirit of collaboration to everything they do. Whether it’s excelling in the classroom, participating in extracurricular activities, or making a difference in our community, our students consistently shine.

We are a school where community is at the heart of everything we do. We are not just a school, but a family that works together for the success of every child. I am proud to be part of a school community where we can learn, grow, and achieve together.
Thank you for being a part of the Brookfield CSD family!

Sincerely, 
Colleen Rutherford 
PreK-12 Principal
