Frank Clark

Frank Clark worked his way through college while he worked as a mechanic. During this time, he met his wife, Pam. He earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Economics. He taught high school Government and Economics until he was laid off. He then worked as a service manager at a dealership before purchasing his own business.

After many years as an auto mechanic, Frank helped his church start a K-12 school. During this time, Frank earned a master’s degree in Christian School Administration. This launched his career as a Christian administrator. Over the span of this career, he ran five Christian schools. In addition, he completed several doctoral courses in Deaf Education. Frank also served on the Association of Christian Schools International’s school accreditation team in Ohio.

Frank took a sabbatical in order to help his family with his ailing mother. Upon his return to administration, Frank substituted for a Christina school principal in Kansas who had cancer. He then became the principal over bus students at the Manhattan, Kansas School District. After six years, he took a position in a nearby school district which merged his school administration with his skills as a mechanic.

Frank is now retired and lives in Grand Rapids with his wife Pam. Together, they raised four children, and have fifteen grandchildren.
