"I call it the Burns difference. There is just something special about the community at Burns. The people who work and bring their children here are a different breed. We all care deeply about each other and the community as a whole. To me, it's not just about grades, but the whole person approach that makes it a more conducive environment in which to teach and learn."

"I began my career as a Second Grade Teacher at Burns three years ago, and I love the creativity it allows me in the classroom. Every day, I design engaging lessons that make learning fun and memorable for my students. The strong sense of community at Burns, along with the support from colleagues and administration, empowers me to teach authentically. Choosing Burns as a new teacher was the best decision I made, providing me with a solid foundation to grow as an educator."

"It means so much to me to give back and teach students that want to learn these high-level math and science concepts.

I am thankful to be at Burns for so many reasons. We have a great administration here that works to fully support the teachers, who in turn, support the students. Student excellence is of the utmost importance here. And the students notice the teacher's effort and have a hunger to learn. I feel like this year we have a great group of dedicated teachers that have allowed me to grow professionally."

"Burns Sci-Tech is more than just a workplace—it’s a community. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this school was special. The staff genuinely supports one another, and the students bring an energy that makes every day exciting. What really stands out is the freedom to teach creatively and connect history to other disciplines. Whether it’s through STEM projects or cross-curricular activities, I’ve been able to explore new ways of engaging students in the story of humanity. It’s inspiring to work in a place where everyone—teachers, students, and staff—is invested in making learning meaningful."
