Greetings Burrus Family,

I first want to say I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as the new principal of Burrus Fine Arts Magnet School for the 2021-2022 school year. I am a native Houstonian and a proud product of the Houston Independent School District. I take great pride in saying I attended Burrus and the neighboring high school, Booker T Washington and the High School for Engineering Professions.

The 2021-2022 school year will mark my 19th year in education. I have served in various roles from Associate Teacher to Assistant Principal. I began my career teaching middle school science, served as an Instructional Coach and Teacher Development Specialist providing support to teachers in the areas of Science, Math, and English Language Arts. Recently, I served as the Assistant Principal at Hobby Elementary Dual Language Academy, where I continued the work of coaching and developing teachers.

I obtained my undergraduate degree in Biology from Texas Wesleyan University and graduated degree in Education from the University of St. Thomas. 

I strongly believe that the number one contributing factor to student success is the effectiveness of the classroom teacher. This belief drives my passion for effective instruction and ensuring that each child is afforded a quality education. Thank you for trusting us with your most precious commodity----your children. We are glad you and your student are members of the Burrus Fine Arts Magnet community and we look forward to a wonderful year. 

Sincerely,

Nicole Williams, Principal
