where are you going? Terry Burleson—

a journey of success from BCPS to Uof M and back again A quality k-12 education from Battle Creek Public Schools unlocked a world of opportunity for Terry Burleson. A 2005 graduate of Battle Creek Central, Terry is an example of the many students who thrive in our uniquely diverse learning environment that offers more choices and more experience that lead to educational excellence. Under the caring leadership and instruction of Battle Creek Public School’s dedicated staff, Terry received the knowledge and inspiration to follow his dreams. His high school counselor at BC Central saw Terry’s potential and encouraged him to consider attending the University of Michigan. And he did just that, with great success.

Inspiring & experienced Early Learning Coordinator Conveniently located in revitalized, growing “Rebuild the Dream” neighborhoods Strong safety procedures for trusted security Quality, dedicated teachers with low turnover Ongoing teacher training Concentration on Early Childhood Education Great Start Readiness Program for 4 year olds High Scope Curriculum in preschool program District-wide STEM focused curriculum: Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics Wide range of opportunities in the Arts Individualized Student Support Early Learning Literacy Pilot Project Bilingual family support

After graduating from one of the top universities in the country, Terry has now returned to Battle Creek Public Schools as a member of our outstanding staff, working with students to help them understand the importance of a college education and how they can obtain it. At Battle Creek Public Schools, our students are going places. And we help them get there. The place to be, the place to stay.
