Meet the Principal
-Mike Patterson-

I have been a part of CBF for 14 years, serving as Assistant Principal for three years before stepping into the role of School Leader last year. This is now my second year leading our school, and I am deeply committed to our mission and students. My greatest passion is supporting youth in foster care, and I consider it a blessing to work with the best group of kids in the state of Michigan. This year, my goal is for CBF to not only be the best school within a residential facility, but also to become a model and magnet school for youth in foster care across the state.

Our staff believes strongly in our students’ potential and is dedicated to providing a nurturing environment that fosters both academic growth and social-emotional development, preparing them to thrive in today’s world.
