• Harris Creek originally opened in August 2005 at the modular campus behind East Millbrook Middle School on Spring Forest Road.  That was a fun event that included water being turned on the day before school started, cubbies being drilled into the wall during parent orientation, and lunch being trucked in everyday until the building housing the cafeteria was completed!   HCES was there for one year while the permanent building was being built.  During the summer of 2006, HCES was packed up and moved to the beautiful permanent location and reopened in August 2006.  The building, the staff count, and the student count all doubled in size!  In July 2007, HCES transitioned once again into a multi-track year-round school.

Mr. Thomas, Brandon

July 2013 - October 2014 (half time share with Durant Road ES)

I was thrilled to serve as Assistant Principal for such an amazing school.  Education is a passion of mine, and I was glad to enter a new stage within my educational experience.  My career began in Pitt County in 2004 after receiving a Bachelor's in Elementary Education from East Carolina University.  Go Pirates!  Although, I might add that I was an eagle in high school and now returning to that mascot.  So, go Eagles! 

After teaching 5th grade for 6 years, I decided that I wanted to broaden my horizons by working with K-5 students.  My love for mathematics education led me into a position as a math coach for a few years and then into math intervention.  I wore many hats while in those positions and became genuinely involved and interested in current educational reform.  As a result, I pursued a Master's degree in School Administration as well as a K-12 Curriculum Specialist license.  Additionally, I have served on the Board of Directors for the North Carolina Association for Educators.  I look back on my time at Harris Creek with fondness and enjoyed my short time there.
