Mrs. Burke
Mrs. Barri Burke teaches 6th grade Language Arts. She has been teaching for a total of 12 years, with six of those years being at Mabry. She taught all subjects in elementary school and has taught Language Arts and Social Studies in middle school.
Mrs. Burke has a degree in secondary Language Arts as well as her gifted endorsement. Before becoming a teacher, she worked in the field of journalism. In fact, Mrs. Burke was one of Ted Turner's original employees at CNN, Cable News Network (from 1983-1986) where she helped man the International News Desk. She eventually became a production assistant for the Business News Desk. This valuable experience greatly contributed to her teaching style.
During the summer Mrs. Burke enjoys working out every day, reading, and taking her six-year-old daughter to the pool. Her family spent time in San Destin this summer where she "kept a sharp eye out for sharks!"
