We are delighted to welcome Vicki Carpenter to Tower Elementary as our newest paraprofessional!

When she's not supporting our students, Vicki enjoys singing, tending to her garden, and volunteering with the women's auxiliary at our local American Legion. Her spirit of service extends well beyond the classroom and into our community.
Vicki is excited to work alongside our strong team of individuals who are focused on our youth and their education. She's passionate about being part of making the future of our community better, one student at a time.

We are thrilled to welcome Trey (Spoon) Horn to the Burkburnett ISD family!
Trey brings a unique blend of life experience and passion for education to our district. A proud graduate of West Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (Class of 2012), Trey spent many successful years in the insurance industry, growing and running his own business before answering the call to education.
While Trey may be new to the classroom, his heart has always been in education. He's coming home to Burkburnett with a clear mission: to encourage and motivate students, develop our athletic programs, and prepare mentally strong students for life beyond high school. When he's not in the classroom or on the field, you'll find Trey spending quality time with family and friends, supporting youth sports and activities, hitting the golf course, or traveling to the ski slopes.
Trey is excited about building meaningful relationships with students, families, and colleagues while learning from the incredible educators already here. He's passionate about developing and growing our programs and is thrilled to be back home in the community he loves.
Please join us in giving Trey a warm Burkburnett welcome! We're excited to see the positive impact he'll make on our students and programs. His combination of real-world business experience, athletic passion, and genuine care for student development makes him a perfect addition to our team.

This is to inform you about a change to the price of school lunches for the upcoming school year, effective August 13, 2025.
Due to rising costs for food, utilities, and supplies, the price of a school lunch will be adjusted by $.25. The new price for a school lunch will be $4.00. This decision was made after careful consideration.
Breakfast will remain free to all students in Burkburnett ISD.
The school remains committed to providing children with healthy and nutritious meals that support their learning and well-being, according to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. School meals continue to be a convenient and healthy option for students, featuring balanced meals with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and the right balance of many nutrients.
