Hello,

I am so excited and proud to be part of such a wonderful, diverse and thriving community as Columbia Elementary!  The teachers and staff at Columbia are doing amazing things with student learning and I am passionate to guide these practices in the future. 

I am coming to Columbia from Galileo Middle School where I was the Assistant Principal since 2016.  I have a diverse background working in the school system.  I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work and have spent several years of my career in this capacity at both the elementary and secondary levels. Additionally, I was an instructor for transition aged students for over 10 years and provided district level professional development for 8 years as well. 

The entire Columbia staff and I look forward to an amazing year working with our loving community in order to grow, challenge and take all student learning to new heights! 

Respectfully,

Christopher Brandt

Principal Columbia Elementary
