COATESVILLE, PA — The Chester County Intermediate Unit has promoted veteran educator Victor W. Brown, Jr. to principal of the CCIU Learning Center, marking a key leadership appointment for one of Chester County’s primary hubs serving students with diverse learning needs.
Brown, who has spent more than 20 years in education, has been serving as interim principal this school year and previously worked as assistant principal at the Learning Center. His background includes extensive experience in special education, administration, and student services — a combination that CCIU leaders say will help advance the center’s mission of personalized learning and inclusion.
“Victor is a proven leader who understands the importance of building strong relationships with students, families, and staff,” said Dr. George F. Fiore, executive director of the CCIU. “His experience in special education and commitment to excellence will help guide the CCIU Learning Center toward continued success.” Brown’s career has included leadership roles in the Wilson and Upper Merion Area School Districts, where he oversaw student support systems, professional development, and restorative practices.
A Bloomsburg University graduate with advanced certifications from Alvernia University and a master’s degree from Gratz College, Brown’s approach blends academic rigor with mentorship. His years coaching high school and college football have also informed his leadership philosophy — emphasizing teamwork, accountability, and steady improvement.
“I’m so proud to share that Victor has been appointed as the new principal of the CCIU Learning Center,” said Dr. Siobhan Leavy, CCIU Director of Student Services. “Victor has been an incredible assistant principal, always leading with empathy, consistency, high expectations, and a deep commitment to our students and staff. His understanding of the unique needs of our students and his steady leadership make him the perfect leader for this role.
