Principal, Tony Quinn is a graduate of Hillsdale College (B.A.), Aquinas College and Grand Valley State (Masters). Before coming to Northview, Quinn taught and coached lacrosse in Forest Hills Public Schools.  Early in his career, Quinn became an administrator and relocated to Traverse City.  His love for West Michigan brought him back to Northview, where he served as Principal of West Oakview before making the move to Northview Next.  Outside of school he enjoys supporting all three of his children’s college athletic and academic careers.

Danielle Hart, building administrative assistant, has loved her role at Northview Next.  She brings all of the great qualities of a wonderful school administrative assistant:  a welcoming smile, a warm environment and a strong sense of organization.  When she’s not caring for the staff and students at NNCC, she is busy with three kids of her own!  

Brandon Paradis, math teacher, started his teaching career in 2014.  Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Paradis relocated to Michigan and earned his B.A. from GVSU.  Outside of teaching, Paradis enjoys the nerdier side of life with hobbies like D&D and gaming. 

Science and Manufacturing teacher, Brian Hendricks graduated from Grand Valley State University and has always had a passion for teaching. Hendricks is a true outdoorsman who always enjoys becoming closer with nature, whether it's hunting, fishing, or hiking. Surprisingly enough, if Hendricks wasn't teaching, you’ll find him scuba diving - he’s already survived cage diving with great white sharks! 

Social Worker, Steph Knaus, graduated from Calvin College and then the University of Michigan for her masters. In Knaus’ role, she offers support for students and families of the Northview community.  When she isn’t supporting our community, Knaus enjoys traveling,cheering for U of M, and spending time with friends and family.
