A Wenatchee native and former CCA student, Eric is excited to be "coming home" to CCA! He and his wife, Amber, have been married for over 30 years, and their two adult children are proud CCA alumni. Eric brings a unique background in education, emergency medicine, fire service, and even leading university students on service expeditions to Africa.
💙 Why do you love teaching?
"I’ve always believed that the best job is the one you would do even if you didn’t get paid, and for the most part, teaching is that way for me. It is the absolute best way to impact our community and the world."
🏔️ Outside of school:
Eric loves making the most of all four seasons! You'll often find him skiing, mountain biking, hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, rafting, playing disc golf, or planning his next travel adventure.
📖 Favorite Bible Verse: James 1:5-6
🥤 Coffee or Tea? Neither—just water! 💧
✨ What he's looking forward to most:
"CCA is a special place to me because I attended school here and my children are CCA alumni. I'm excited to teach in an environment where I can openly share my faith and help students build a strong biblical worldview."
Please join us in giving Mr. Barber a warm CCA welcome!
