This school is in a great environment to learn and make friends.

Burns Middle School is a very unique school because the teachers, Principal and Vice-Principal go the extra mile for each student. I am a grandmother to a 12 year old child and I know that I tolerate her attitude most of the time. I know that growing into adulthood isn't easy, but when I child takes "her" attitude to school and does things at school that she is told not to do at home, that is where we lock horns. If a child is an "A" student at school and can remember things that she has learned in class for a test. There is something wrong when she is away from school and can't "remember" anything she is told not to do; does things, apologizes for doing them and days later forgets and does it again. No, you can't put the blame on the teachers or anyone else. When you have to keep repeating yourself to a child this age to do things she should know to do because of being around other young teens and not be offensive or offend, annoy something is dreadfully wrong. In my day, when we got home we got taken to the woodshed. You are not allowed to do this now.........now, they are told, "Honey don't do that". Teachers everywhere earn what they are paid and the principals. Me, I wouldn't have that job. My granddaughter loves to test people, she knows how to fake crying and does so to get her way. She has said this to me. She said in front of others that if Plan A doesn't work with me, she will use Plan B. Now, I know the tricks she uses and she tells on herself every time.

I am part of the first class and I have experienced what I wouldn't have experienced if I went to an original high school. I am blessed and proud. you are pushed to do great things that you are capable of to succeed. The teachers help you tremendously if you have misunderstandings. We are crew not passenger, a leader not a follower, and we work together as one. The academics are based on expodential learning with outward bound while also challenging you to be all that you can to strive for the best.
