Meet our Principal
Hello,
My name is Brad Barton and I am the new principal at E.C. Best Elementary School.
I have worked for Churchill County School District since 2004, where I began my career teaching English as a Second Language at CCHS. Since 2017, I have been the Dean of Students and Vice-Principal at CCMS.
I was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico. My dad worked for the Army, so growing up, I moved quite a bit. I graduated high school in Munich, Germany, and then went to the University of Utah, where I earned my degree in Sociology/Criminology with a minor in Spanish. While in college, I met a beautiful girl from Fallon, Nevada, and asked her to marry me. I started doing social work in Utah for a while, but then decided I just wanted to coach sports and teach in a classroom. So, I returned to school and earned my Master's Degree in secondary education from the University of Phoenix. In 2004, I brought my wife and family back to Fallon, Nevada, where I started my dream job at Churchill County High School as an ESL Specialist and head varsity baseball coach.
