Welcoming Mr. Burns


By Emma Scott

Mr. Burns is a very cool and fun guy.
He teaches Algebra 1 and Language Arts here at Mac-High.
The Algebra 1 class is working on fractions and positive and
negative numbers. He loves this because the kids are starting
to help each other. “They get so excited when they get
something right”, he said.
  “Mr. Burns is a really cool guy”, says Cece Werhan. “He is
always nice to me when I come in late.”
  Mr. Burns also coaches college soccer in Walla Walla.
“It is very exciting.”, he says.
  Mr. Burns comes from Arizona. He and his family love it
here. When asked why he moved here, he said, “I thought it was
a good change for my family, rather than the Arizona heat.”
Not sure if the weather here is better, but it is certainly a
change from Arizona. Mr. Burns has a five year old son and
a nine month (going on ten) daughter.
  Mr. Burns did most of his schooling in California. For him,
high school was at Pacific High School in southern California..
He then moved to northern California for college at Pacific
Union College.
  “I can see myself here for a long time.” Milton-Freewater is
not a place that can chase Mr. Burns away. He loves it here, and
his family does too. He thinks he will be here for five to ten years.
Say hi to him in the halls since he plans to stay for a long, long time.
