Splendora ISD More Than A Score. Dr. Jeff Burke as Superintendent of Schools
I am honored and privileged to serve as Superintendent of Schools in Splendora ISD. Since I began in 2017, we have seen continued growth, faced numerous challenges, and created and fostered a culture based on our beliefs, values and core principles. We believe that as educators, there are only two things that we can control: the quality of work that we design for our students, and the relationships that we build. In Splendora ISD, we are more than a score. We believe that we are accountable to our parents, students, community and each other for fostering an environment where our students have the opportunity to explore their passions and dreams, and not be limited in those endeavors by what they receive on a standardized test. To that end, we focus on the strengths and talents of our students and our teachers, and we encourage and embrace innovation, design, and a focus on the future. At Splendora ISD, we make every effort to ensure that our students are loved and valued, and that they engage in activities and learning experiences that foster and build confidence, adaptability, perseverance, and self-motivation. We are proud to be a National Showcase District for our Capturing Kids’ Hearts initiative, which helps teach our students how to build positive, appropriate relationships through consistent processes used throughout the district. We want our kids to be able to engage with adults and with each other, understand the importance of advocating for themselves, and to be prepared to be a productive citizen when they leave Splendora ISD. We will continue to build student voice throughout our district, because we believe it is vitally important that our students offer their viewpoints and perspectives. After all, they are the reason we are here.
