Deerfield Staff

Mrs. Stacy Johnson has been an administrator with Britton Deerfield Schools since August of 2012.  She began her duties as Interim Superintendent on November 25, 2015. The Interim tag fell away on July 1, 2017.

I grew up in a small country town called Goodrich. I graduated with my undergraduate degree from Western Michigan University and my Masters in Elementary Education from Liberty University. I am proud to be part of the BD family, go Patriots!

I am originally from DeWitt Michigan.  It is a suburb about 10 minutes north of Lansing.  Throughout my high school and middle school experience, I always took an interest to playing sports. 

Ms. Millington graduated from Bowling Green State University on April 30, 2022. She graduated with a degree in general education and special education for grades Pre-K to 5th grade. As a recent graduate, Ms. Millington brings new ideas and energy to the school system. 

I began my teaching career in 1989 after earning a Bachelor of Education degree from The University of Toledo.  I completed my Masters of Arts in K-12 school counseling from Eastern Michigan University. 

I am originally from Bluffton, Ohio and just recently moved to the area after earning a Bachelor of Education degree from The University of Toledo in May 2021. I love working with middle school students and enjoy sharing my passion for math!

Hello! My name is Chris Bearer and I teach 5th-8th grade band as well as elementary music/technology at the Deerfield Building. I graduated from Adrian College with a bachelor's degree in Music Education. My favorite interests are music, technology, and the Red Wings.

I’m an Eastern Michigan University Graduate. My grandmother was a secretary for Deerfield schools from 76-2000.

I began my teaching career at BD schools in January 2018 as the 4th-8th Grade School Success Teacher. Prior to this I was a Co-teacher at a preschool for 2 years, kindergarten aide for 1 year, and an RtI teacher for K-5th grade for 8 years. I have my Bachelor in Education degree from Eastern Michigan University. I am taking continuing education classes in math and reading from Spring Arbor Online.

I received both my Bachelors and Masters of Education from Siena Heights University. I have taught for 22 years with the last four years at Britton Deerfield Schools.

I graduated from Blissfield High School and earned my teaching degree from Siena Heights University. I began my teaching career at Deerfield Elementary in 1991.

I’m Bruce Branscum (a.k.a. Mr. Bruce to many).  I’ve lived in the Deerfield/Petersburg area for many years.  My wife, Rhonda, and I have two sons, Sam and Andrew.  Both were Deerfield or BD students through graduation.  And 2021 blessed us with our first grandson, Colton!  When not working, I enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, and spending time with family and friends.  I enjoyed the time as an assistant coach for BD’s 2013 and 2014 football seasons. 

In 2019, my husband and I moved back to Michigan from Colorado to be closer to my family. Shortly after, I joined the BD team. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and husband, gardening, hiking and being outdoors. 

My name is Carrie Griffin. I am a lifelong resident of the Britton community and have worked as a paraprofessional at BD for ten years. My goal as a coach is to create a life long love for basketball.

Hello Patriots! My name is Anita and I’m the new kid on the block! To make it simple, everyone calls me Mrs. G! I have been a Paraprofessional for 7 years. I live in Lenawee County with my husband of 28 years and together, we have raised 3 beautiful, strong women. We enjoy sharing fun and laughter with them and our 2 grandsons. Family and friends bring us smiles and happiness.

 

Hi I'm Chelsea! I've lived in Britton since 2006. I started my career working in daycare and working for the preschool at Bd in 2008 and 2009. I am so happy to be back! I love camping and spending time with my family and friends.

Hi, I’m Mrs. Kayser.  2022 is my first year teaching at BD Schools, but I have been teaching for many years.  I received my Bachelor’s degree from Concordia University in Ann Arbor and loved my art classes so much, I decided to major in art.  I have taught art, elementary grades, preschool, and even took school pictures one year when my 3 kids were little!
