Welcome to Burney Jr. Sr. High School – Home of the Raiders!

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to a new school year at Burney Jr. Sr. High School. As the new principal, I feel incredibly honored to join this amazing school community, and I look forward to working together to support every student’s growth, success, and well-being.

Burney Jr. Sr. High School is a special place. We are proud to offer a strong academic program that prepares students for whatever path they choose—college, the workforce, the military, or trade school. Our goal is to help each student discover their potential and graduate ready to thrive in today’s world.

One of the things that makes our school truly exceptional is our dedicated and talented staff. The teachers and support staff here care deeply about our students and work actively to meet their needs—both academically and personally. Whether helping students master a tough subject, navigate a challenge, or explore their passions, our staff is here to help.

Students also have countless opportunities to get involved. From clubs and athletics to music, student leadership, and more—there’s something for everyone. We believe these experiences help students build confidence, create connections, and develop important life skills.

Our school is proud to be a part of the greater Burney community. Our community plays a vital role in supporting our students and school events, and in turn, our students regularly give back through service, volunteer work, and participation in local activities. This mutual support helps create a positive, connected environment where everyone feels they belong.

As principal, my vision is for every student to leave Burney Jr. Sr. High School confident, capable, and ready to make a positive impact. I’m excited for the year ahead and deeply grateful to be part of such a strong and caring school community.

Here’s to a fantastic year—full of learning, connection, and Raider pride!

Go Raiders!
