My name is Brandon Burke and I am the Principal at Ridgeview Jr/Sr High School. I am excited to begin my fifth year at Ridgeview. It is my mission to provide the students a safe and engaging education. I am surrounded by wonderful students and an amazing staff. I am very proud to be a MUSTANG!

I received my Bachelor's Degree from Illinois State University in 2007 and graduated with my Master's Degree from Eastern Illinois University in 2014. I taught elementary school for seven years in the Watseka and Prairie Central School Districts. Before coming to Ridgeview I served as Assistant Principal at Clifton Central for two years and then Principal at John L. Nash Middle School for three years. 

I have been married for fourteen years and we have two children (11 and 8. I enjoy spending time with my family, fishing, golfing, and watching sports. I am a huge Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan!
