Assistant Principal Garrett Burns Bio:

My name is Garrett Burns and I am honored to join the Family! I grew up in Columbus, GA. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Elon University in North Carolina. I then moved to Machester, England where I received my Postgraduate Certificate in Education and Masters of Education in the Psychology of Education from The University of Manchester. I then moved back to the states and began my career in Phenix City. I was a Kindergarten teacher for 3 years before becoming an Instructional Coach for 3 years. This past August, I graduated with my Masters of Education in the Administration of Elementary and Secondary Education from Auburn University. I currently call Phenix City home with my husband.
