I have been teaching for 13 years.  Started my career at Highland Elementary School.  Began teaching fourth grade and remained there for three years until the school closed.  I was transerred to the newly built Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School where I still reside.  MLK Jr. has been open now for ten years.  Currently I teach 6th grade math.

Hello my name is Mr. Ivan L Brown and I am currently the 6th grade math teacher here at Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School.  I have been teaching here since the school opened its doors ten years ago.  I am 36 years old and am the oldest of five boys and have lived in Hopkinsville all of my life.  I was raised by my grandmother to become the best me I could be.  I attend church at Cedar Grove Baptist Church where I am an Associate Minister and sing on the Praise and Worship Team.  I believe in every one of my students and know that with dedication and hard work, all things are possible.
