About our Principal

Brandie Harvey

Ms. Brandie Harvey

My name is Brandie Harvey, and I have four wonderful children who keep me busy and filled with joy throughout the year. Faith is a senior, Grace is a junior, Cayson is in 7th grade, and Ellie is in 6th grade. When we aren't cheering from the bleachers at various sporting events, you can find us enjoying the outdoors, swimming, or spending quality time at the lake with family. As a devoted sports family, we're proud supporters of the Oklahoma Sooners and the Kansas City Chiefs!

Our family has grown to truly love this community, and we are so honored to be a part of Pinto Nation. California is a great place to be, and we are excited to continue building meaningful relationships with all of you.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Graceland University, a Master's of Education, and an Education Specialist's degree from William Woods University. My professional journey spans nine years as an elementary teacher and five years as an administrator. My instructional leadership style emphasizes building strong relationships, monitoring student achievement, collaborating effectively with all stakeholders, and maintaining a positive environment.

I am genuinely excited for another amazing year of growth, tradition, and fun! I look forward to continuing to serve the California students, families and community as we work together to help every student reach their fullest potential. With outstanding community support and talented staff, I believe the future for Pinto Nation is exceptionally bright!

Go Pintos!
