Meet the Principal

My name is Matt Price, and I have been principal here at East Fannin since 2017.   I previously served as the assistant principal at EFES for four years. I am married to my wife, Maureen. We have two daughters, Vera Grace and Sophie, who both attend Fannin County Schools.  

I am excited to be the principal at East Fannin Elementary. During my time at EFES, I have had the privilege of working with an awesome and talented staff. Our students are very dear to me. We have such wonderful students who come to school excited to learn.

I believe all students can learn. It is our job as educators to meet our students' needs and help them reach their full potential and beyond. I hope that in the upcoming school year and beyond, our students will continue to be excited about learning and allow us to help them be successful students and lifelong learners.

2025-2026 is going to be an exciting year at EFES.  I look forward to a great year for our students, staff, parents, and our community.

My door is always open to students, parents, and the community. Your input and support is a vital contribution as we work together to ensure the success of our students.  Parents are encouraged to attend all of our events. I look forward to working with you all, and know we will have a great school year.

Meet the Assistant Principal

I’m genuinely excited to be stepping into the role of Assistant Principal here at East Fannin Elementary. I hold a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction, a Specialist degree in Teacher Leadership, and I’ve earned my Tier I Leadership Certification through Valdosta State University. 

I’m passionate about helping every student grow  not just in academics, but also in confidence, character, and community. I believe school should be a place where every person feels supported and inspired to do their best.

My door is always open. Whether you have ideas, suggestions, concerns, or just want to stop by and say hi, I’d love to connect. Let’s make this year one of collaboration, laughter, learning, and shared achievement together! Let's go Wildcats!
