Dear Burch Families,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and share my excitement about my appointment as principal at Burch Elementary School. Burch Elementary School has a reputation of excellence and I feel fortunate to be joining a school culture focused on student learning, a commitment to high expectations, innovation and collaboration. It is my intent to continue to carry out these important traditions and practices. I would like to build on the same reputation here at Burch Elementary School and invite you to help us determine what is best for your child by attending parent conferences and academic events.

I would like to share some information about my educational background and professional experience. After graduating from Roy Miller High School Corpus Christ, TX, I attended University of The Incarnate Word. While at University of The Incarnate Word, I studied Psychology at the College of Humanities in San Antonio, TX. After receiving my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I have chosen to attend Ashford University where I am completing a Masters in Education-Teaching Technology. I was a teacher assistant in Corpus Christi for five years before moving to San Antonio where I taught for three years. I spent three years teaching in San Antonio while also pursuing my teaching certification in Special Education. I am currently pursuing my certification in Educational Leadership. I have spent the last four years in San Antonio, TX as an elementary administrator.

I look forward to being a part of a warm and caring school environment and working together with each of you this year. Please feel free to call or stop by for a visit. If you have questions or concerns, pleased do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Eric W. Davis, Principal
