Paul Barich

—Outstanding Alumnus of 2022

Redlands Mayor Paul Barich took classes at Crafton Hills College the first year the college opened its doors. He believes the time he spent here prepared him well for transfer to UCLA, where he earned a degree in history. He then returned to his hometown of Redlands to start a career in teaching before opening Barich and Associates Insurance Marketing Services Inc., which specializes in health, life, Medicare and 401(k)s.

Elected to the Redlands City Council in November 2014, Barich is currently serving as the City’s Mayor. Barich is an active member in his community, dedicating time to support the youth, businesses, and citizens of Redlands. He serves on several commissions, boards, committees, and community organizations.

He has donated his time to volunteer for Crafton Hills College, sponsoring and attending events and serving as the guest speaker at the 2017 “45th Anniversary” Friends Luncheon.
