Welcome to Barrows Elementary School!

This school year, 2023-2024, is my second year as principal at Barrows. Before becoming a school administrator, I taught in 5 different states, partly due to being an Air Force family. After many years of traveling around the country, I feel blessed to have returned to my hometown to serve my community in this capacity, and I love this neighborhood school!

At Barrows, our core values, which we refer to as our Barrows Beliefs, encourage kindness, respect, perseverance, collaboration, and safety. Our staff loves working with all our students and works hard to ensure that each feels welcome and cared for at Barrows.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions to learn more about our great school!

Keep shining,

Mrs. Alissa Gallegos, Principal, M. Ed, CAGS
