"I am very excited to be returning to Eastbrook, in a new role, and having the chance to lead this vibrant community. My roots in education were in elementary and I am very happy to be returning to this setting. While things may have changed since I was last at Eastbrook, one thing has remained constant…the commitment to student success by the staff of this building. My own commitment to the well-being of students and staff, both in and out of the classroom, are the foundation of my beliefs around education and leadership and I am very pleased to bring this passion to the Eastbrook family." -Chris Zottl
