Join us in welcoming Special Education teacher Vanessa Stewart to BISD!
Vanessa Stewart earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University in 2023 and Master of Arts in Special Education from Western Governors University, in 2026. She completed her student teaching at Burkburnett High School in a self-contained classroom, where she gained valuable experience supporting students with diverse academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs.
Personal and educational experiences have given Mrs. Stewart a strong appreciation for the importance of patience, understanding, and individualized support for every student. She especially enjoys helping students build confidence and reach goals they may not have thought possible.
As both a parent in the district and an educator, Mrs. Stewart is passionate about creating a supportive and encouraging learning environment where all students feel safe, supported, and encouraged to thrive. She looks forward to helping BISD students grow academically, socially, and emotionally while building confidence and reaching their full potential. Outside the classroom, she enjoys listening to audiobooks, caring for her plants, learning new things, and spending time with her family.
