Dr. Burnette

My name is Dr. Burnette, affectionately called Burnie or Doc by my students, and I have been in the field of education for over 15 years. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Political Science from Valdosta State University (VSU), a Masters of Secondary Education from VSU, and a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from VSU. I hold endorsements in both gifted and online teaching, certifications in teaching AP courses, and firmly believe in continuing education. Classes taught throughout my career: Geography, Economics, American Government, AP European History, World History, APWHM, American History, APUSH, and Peer Leadership. Having experience in multiple school systems (Colquitt, Thomasville, VSU, & Citrus) and teaching a multitude of courses has afforded me the opportunity to see different leadership styles, diverse methods for instructional delivery, and make a network of amazing educators that I adore. I feel passionately about education beyond the traditional classroom walls and anytime I can take students to locations to explore learning, I try to. I believe passionately in individualized attention to students and their needs and I therefore try really hard to make all of my students feel seen and loved. 

I currently work as the MERIT Coordinator for the High School and teach AP World History Modern and AP Focus.
