About

Our Mission: The mission of the Burleson Independent School District, an innovative partnership with parents and community, is to prepare each student to be a responsible, contributing citizen, able to achieve maximum personal potential and embrace change by addressing individual student differences through exemplary curriculum, programs, and staff in a progressive and safe environment.

Our Beliefs: Beliefs are the shared statements from our school district and community as to their fundamental convictions, values and character. We believe that…

  • Every person has inherent worth.

  • Every person is responsible for his or her attitudes and actions.

  • The family plays a critical role in the development of the individual.

  • Maximum effort is necessary for anyone to achieve full potential.

  • Higher expectations produce greater results.

  • Strong moral character is essential to the success of our community.

  • Learning is a lifelong venture.

  • Awareness and understanding of diversity strengthens the community.

  • Society benefits when individuals contribute to the welfare of others.

  • Belief in God gives meaning to life.

  • A safe environment is essential to a sense of well-being and personal growth.

  • Patriotism is essential to sustain our freedom, and democratic form of government.

  • The quality of schools in a community is directly related to the quality of life in that community.

Our Strategic Parameters:

  • We will not tolerate behavior that diminishes the dignity or self-worth of any individual or group.

  • Site-based decisions will always be consistent with the strategic plan.

  • New programs will only be accepted if they are consistent with the strategic plan, benefits clearly exceed cost, and they have provisions for adequate funding, staff development and program evaluation.

  • No program or service will be retained unless benefits continue to justify costs and it is making an optimal contribution toward the mission of the strategic plan.

  • Student performance on all state assessments will always exceed the state average.

  • We will always operate in a fiscally responsible manner by balancing the educational needs of our students with our community’s ability to pay.
