About Burnet

Burnet, built in 1953, was established as a neighborhood school.  Our enrollment fluctuates between 690 students and 750 students throughout the school year.  During the past sixty years, Burnet has had 11 Administrators/Principals: Elmer Dossey, Arvil Kidd, Billy Patterson, Jay Davis, Horton Kidd, Steve Tercero, Lisa Wills, Tristan Specter, Susan Shelton, Gilbert Vasquez (interim), and Marissa King,   

Since it was built, Burnet has had only minor reconstruction, until 2004-2005 school year.  Recent renovations included moving our main entrance from the Permian Drive side of the school to the Maple side.  This has alleviated much before and after school traffic congestion.  The renovations also included a conference room, additional office space, new classrooms, a new gym, and some needed building updates.
