Principals

I am truly honored and excited for the opportunity to lead Burnett Junior High School. I graduated from Texas A&M University (whoop!) and began my career in education in 2007 as a teacher and coach. During that time, I had the privilege of teaching both middle and high school math while also coaching volleyball, basketball, soccer, and track at the high school level.

Prior to joining Burnett, I was grateful for the opportunity to serve as an assistant principal at both middle and high schools, most recently as the Associate Principal at Wylie High School. Each of these experiences has shaped my passion for supporting students, staff, and families.

Junior high is such a unique and exciting stage in a student’s life—a time of tremendous growth, discovery, and change. Being part of that journey is incredibly meaningful, and I am honored to serve students during these important years.

I look forward to building strong relationships and creating lasting experiences and memories with our Buccaneer students, staff, and families.

My name is Curtis Holtz, and it is both an honor and a privilege to serve as one of the leaders of our Burnett Raiders.

My journey in education began at Burnett in 2015 as a substitute teacher before I accepted a position as a 7th Grade Texas History teacher and coach. Since then, I have had the opportunity to teach 8th Grade U.S. History, Physical Education, and Special Education. For the past four years, I have proudly served as the Boys Athletic Coordinator.

Burnett is a truly special place because of its outstanding students, dedicated staff, supportive families, and strong community. Together, we have built a OneBurnett culture that provides meaningful learning experiences and opportunities for every student to grow and succeed.

I am excited to continue working alongside our students, staff, families, and community as we build on that tradition of excellence. I look forward to another great year and to helping ensure Burnett remains a place where every Raider is encouraged to learn, lead, and thrive.

My name is Sarah Miller, and I am the 8th-grade assistant principal at Burnett this year. Before stepping into this role, I spent 6 years as an 8th-grade science teacher and cheer coach. My husband, Sean Miller, and I have been married since 2018; we are high school sweethearts. We recently welcomed our beautiful newborn daughter into the world. I am excited to serve Burnett this year and look forward to working with the students, staff, and community.
