Hello All,
It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself to you as the principal of Burlington-Edison High School. My name is Alejandro Vergara. This coming year will be my 28th year in education. I’ve had a variety of roles in K-12 education over the last 27 years. I have been a teacher, a dean of students, an assistant principal, a principal and an executive director.
My goal is to utilize my acquired skills to work JUNTOS (TOGETHER) with students, staff and parents to improve the educational experiences our B-EHS students obtain when acquiring an education in our classrooms. I know that JUNTOS (TOGETHER) we can do anything we set our minds to.
Over the next few months, we will be taking a look at our data and meeting with the Building Leadership Team (BLT) to brainstorm ways that we can fill the gaps the data is telling us we need to address. Additionally, I am a firm believer that for kids to be able to learn, we must work in an environment that is conducive to optimal learning. Safety and security will be paramount at B-EHS under my watch. As a staff, we will work JUNTOS (TOGETHER) to ensure that our campus is safe, orderly, and welcoming.
Our instructional departments will engage in focused data analysis, noting successes and challenges to create department goals that will lead us to support the District’s vision of- Educating each student for lifelong success. Our intentional actions are geared toward reinforcing a cohesive and collective approach to improving our instructional practices. As we do this work, collectively and collaboratively, we expect to see more of our Burlignton-Edison High School students attend regularly, graduate on time and increase their proficiency on standardized tests.
Please do not hesitate to come visit us and sit down with us to share your concerns or ideas for improvement. We will work JUNTOS (TOGETHER) to continue to advance our instructional expertise. Our vision is to see more of our graduates live up to our Burlington-Edison School District Strategic Road Landmarks:
Each student aspires to learn
Each student practices thoughtful citizenship
Each student is equipped to pursue life options, including career and college
JUNTOS (TOGETHER) we can!
Sincerely,
Alejandro Vergara, Principal
Burlington-Edison High School
