Aidan Guzman

Aidan Guzman joined Renbrook in 2021 and quickly became one of the most admired and dependable members of the community. Serving in Buildings & Grounds, Aidan plays a vital role in keeping campus safe and operational. Beyond that, he supports Renbrook PLUS through the Early Birds and Extended Day programs and coaches Boys Lacrosse and Boys JV Soccer. Wherever students are gathered, Aidan is often nearby.

In 2025, Aidan was honored with the Doug & Jane Cramphin Excellence in Education Award and described as “A Steady Presence and Everyday Hero.” The stories shared at the award presentation painted a remarkable portrait. One nominator described him carrying a piano out of a building one day and responding to a burning microwave the next. He has been seen running through Nelson Hall with a bear horn to protect the playground, skimming balls from the pool, retrieving soccer balls from the hedge, walking on roofs, and even running into traffic to stop cars and assist a colleague after an accident.

And yet, what defines Aidan most is not the dramatic moments but the quiet ones. He is a gentle giant among the youngest learners. He stops to tie shoes, wipe noses, chat about a student’s day, or simply sit and listen. Children feel safe with him. They know they can count on him to walk them to class or restring a lacrosse stick after practice. His colleagues speak of his maturity, professionalism, thoughtful communication, and calm, balanced decision-making well beyond his years.

Aidan is an active member of the Renbrook Emergency Team and someone who consistently runs toward challenges rather than away from them. As one colleague reflected using the words of Mr. Rogers, “When you are scared or worried, look for the helpers.” At Renbrook, Aidan is that helper. His steady presence, kind heart, and unwavering commitment make him a true cornerstone of the community.
