Mr. Burris

This year begins my 23rd year of teaching at Carlisle Middle School; 33rd year teaching overall.  I grew up in Ruthven, Iowa, located in the northwest part of the state.  After high school, I attended the University of South Dakota. I got my first teaching job in Terril, Iowa, and I taught there for ten years before coming to Carlisle for the 2002-2003 school year. Throughout my career, I have always taught middle school aged students. I enjoy spending time with my family, being outside, and anything related to the Iowa Hawkeyes.  While teaching and coaching over the years, I have been fortunate to work with some amazing people!
