Welcome to East Kingston Elementary School, home of the Kingfishers! My name is Brandon French and I am the principal at EKES. I am a proud resident of East Kingston, NH where I live with my wife and our two boys. With twenty years of experience in education, I am happy to join the knowledgeable and dedicated staff here at EKES. As an educator, I taught at the elementary and high school levels in Williamsville NY, Newfane NY, and Nashua NH. Most recently I have had the opportunity to hold building leader roles in Manchester, NH as an assistant principal at both Wilson and Webster K-5 elementary schools. I have a passion for early education as the foundation for our students’ lifelong learning journey and I am so excited to be part of this great team at EKES that shares that same passion. While I love NH and call this beautiful town our home, I can’t deny my NY roots! I am an avid sports fan and love my New York Yankees. I enjoy spending time at the lake kayaking and fishing, playing outside with my family, and cooking up new recipes!
