Faculty

The staff members at East Brook are our greatest resource. Most have earned advanced degrees, honors, grants, and recognition for their proficiency in the classroom. Many are leaders in the community. But what we’re most proud of is their dedication to our students. Every decision they make is with your child’s best interests in mind. If you have a question or concern, please let us know. We welcome your input!
