Leadership
John Allbritton - Principal
Welcome to Bear Branch Elementary School! My name is John Allbritton and I consider it a true pleasure to begin my third year serving as the principal at BBE. I began my career in education in 2003 as a teacher in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD and moved into administration in 2016 as an assistant principal at Cypress Woods High School. I was afforded the opportunity to serve my
own community in 2021 by moving to Bear Branch Intermediate School as an assistant principal. I have a bachelor’s degree in Agriculture from Sam Houston State University and a master’s in Educational Administration from Texas A&M University. My wife, Becky, and I have one daughter, Macey, who is currently an eighth grader at Bear Branch Junior High. I look forward to working alongside everyone at BBE during the 2023-2024 school year to serve our students and community as we GROW together!
