A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

I am so excited to embark on this new adventure at Edward Stone Middle School! While this is my first year in the building, I am not new to the district. For the past two years, I’ve served as the principal of our K–12 virtual program, and I’m excited to return full circle: to middle school, where I began my career in education as a teacher 22 years ago.

I’ve always felt a strong connection to this pivotal stage in a student’s development. Middle school is a time of tremendous growth, discovery, and possibility, and I’m committed to fostering a school environment where every student feels safe, supported, and inspired to learn.

I look forward to working together with our talented staff, engaged families, and wonderful students to make this a successful and meaningful year. Together, we will build a strong community and ensure that every student thrives.

Mission

Inspiring and challenging students through diverse opportunities.

Vision

The Burlington Community School District strives to have a profoundly positive impact on each student’s adult quality of life brought about by the students’ individual and collective educational experience.

Exit Outcomes

The Burlington Community School District supports all students achieving skills and abilities to become productive citizens in the community in which they live. This includes academic goals, social competencies, employability skills, and technology skills. These skills are a guide for teachers and students in determining projects and areas of focus at various grade levels.
