Welcome to a new school year at WH Burnett—home of the Tigers!

I’m Kim David, and I am absolutely thrilled to be your principal as we begin this exciting journey together. Whether you’re a returning family or just joining our Tiger community, we’re so glad you're here. At WH Burnett, we live our theme: One Pride, One Family. We truly believe that families are the essential pillars that support learning, and together, we create a nurturing environment where every child is seen, heard, and empowered to excel.

This year, we’re embracing the spirit of adventure as we focus on building strong foundations for all our students. For our youngest Tigers, this means wholeheartedly embracing the power of learning through play. We know that children learn best when they are actively engaged, exploring their world with curiosity, and discovering concepts through hands-on experiences. Play isn't just about fun; it's how children develop critical literacy, numeracy, problem-solving skills, and vital social-emotional growth that will serve them throughout their academic journey.

As our students progress, we also place a strong emphasis on fostering responsibility and independence. We empower our Tigers to do things on their own, to take ownership of their learning, and to confidently navigate challenges. Our dedicated staff provides the guidance and support needed, while always encouraging students to take thoughtful risks, ask questions, and strive for excellence in their personal learning path. This journey of self-discovery and growing independence is a core part of what it means to be a WH Burnett Tiger.

Your partnership and support make all the difference, truly reinforcing that families are the pillars that support learning. We are One Pride, One Family, embarking on this educational adventure together.

So pack your curiosity, bring your courage, and get ready to blaze new trails—because adventure truly awaits at WH Burnett Elementary!

Looking forward to a wonderful year of discovery, growth, and shared success!

With Tiger Pride,

Kim David
