Hello/Hola My Eagle Families:
Welcome back to the 2024-2025 School Year! I am delighted to serve as the principal of Morris Middle School. This is the year of Inspiring, Engagement and Empowerment. We are happily anticipating the return of our students and ready to begin teaching and learning. The Morris Middle School faculty and staff will ensure support is given to our students in the areas of academics and social and emotional awareness. Be aware that the teachers are eagerly awaiting your students’ return and have planned for an awesome and amazing year of learning.
As a dedicated educator with an abundance of passion, I will continue my focus on the five core values that undergird my life in the educational field:
1. Strive for academic excellence
2. Set high expectations for myself, the teachers, staff and students
3. Exhibit fairness and consistency
4. Build positive and productive relationships
5. Operate with honesty and trust
This is our year of EXCELLENCE in all areas...Ain’t No Stopping Us Now…We On The Move!!
Sincerely,
Dr. L. Burruss
Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word, movement and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater influence on a child than the parent.
