OUR TEAM

CCA/Technology

Mauricio Moran

Mr. Morán’s native country is El Salvador, which is part of Central America. He studied there for two years of university before moving to California. Some of my hobbies are cooking, robotics, bowling, and technology. During his free time, he likes to hang out with his friends and family. Before he became a teacher, he was a senior college student looking for a rewarding and enjoyable career. During his last year of undergrad school, he taught an after-school computer science class once a week at an elementary and enjoyed it so much. Since then his goal has been to teach computer science and technology in the most dynamic, unique, and fun way.

Food Science

Michelle Briggs

Ms. Michelle started at the heart of the school–as a parent. She wanted the best for her son: a school where he could thrive and be inspired. Continuing in her roots from a family-owned restaurant, she worked at home as The Barefoot Baker, specializing in French pastries and everything sweet! She also volunteered at Bonneville, helping the teachers in any way she could–including stuffing them full of madeleines, breads, cupcakes, and anything else on their “favorites” list. If they liked it, she made it!

Then, in 2020, she set aside her home business as both a baker and a licensed nail tech and took a job as the second grade specialist. She fell in love with the world of STEM and loved seeing the students’ faces light up as they did experiments together. She is excited to combine her two passions, food and STEM as she is now acting as both our Food Science teacher and Elementary STEM specialist.

SOCIAL STUDIES

Brad Evans

Mr. Evans has a B.A. in Political Science from California State University, Los Angeles, and a B.S. in Social Sciences from Southern Utah University. He was awarded a U.S. patent for his development of a neuromuscular coordination strengthening device. His teaching specialties include U.S. History, Global Politics, and World Civilization.

As an inventor and entrepreneur, Mr. Evans learned firsthand about the education and skills required to be successful in an increasingly automated and changing economy. He began to substitute teaching in order to share his experiences and to help his students understand the importance of maximizing their individual talents and reaching their full potential. During his time as a substitute, Mr. Evans gained a real passion for education and decided to teach full-time. He brings enthusiasm, real-world experience, and entrepreneurial spirit to the classroom. “I see social studies as the perfect vehicle for developing the critical thinking skillset our students will need to be prosperous throughout their lives.”

Mr. Evans and his family enjoy spending time together hiking, camping, and fly-fishing.
