More About
Mr. Burhart

Hello! My name is Travis Burhart, and I am excited to be teaching 4th grade at Pine Grove. I am originally from Los Angeles but grew up in the greater Nashville area. This is my fourth year in education and third year at the elementary level.


A little about me – I graduated from Florida State University with my Bachelor’s in Environmental Science. I spent the next year working at a tuition-free boarding school in Estes Park on a consulting team that supported school districts across the country. Although I enjoyed my time there, I realized how much I wanted to actually be in a classroom with students! Following that, I earned my Master’s in Teaching while working in Aurora Public Schools. As a teacher, I care deeply about creating a safe and welcoming environment where students feel empowered to step outside their comfort zones academically and socially. I also value family partnership to ensure students have the strongest support system possible.


Outside of teaching, I enjoy all things outdoors (backpacking, rock climbing, and snowshoeing), as well as reading time with friends. I’m looking forward to a great year together!
