We are thrilled to introduce Heather Ray, our new counselor at Burkburnett Middle School!
Heather brings six years of classroom experience from McNiel Middle School, where she taught 6th grade Social Studies and 7th grade Texas History. She earned her Bachelor's in History with a minor in Secondary Education from Midwestern State University and will complete her Master's in School Counseling from West Texas A&M this December.
"I chose to become a school counselor because I've seen the difference it makes when students feel genuinely supported not just academically, but emotionally," Heather shares. "Mental health plays such a huge role in learning and growing, and I want to be someone students can turn to when they need support and encouragement."
Heather is excited to build strong relationships with students, families, and staff in BISD and create a safe space where students feel heard, valued, and empowered to navigate their challenges and successes.
When she's not supporting students, you might find Heather traveling with her family, binge-watching true crime documentaries, or making those "quick" Target runs that somehow turn into hour-long shopping adventures! 😄
Please join us in giving Heather a warm Bulldog welcome! We know she's going to make an incredible impact on our students and school community. 🐾💜

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.
Free or reduced-price meals are available for eligible students, and families are encouraged to apply. Applications are available through Skyward, school campuses, and at the Child Nutrition office. The link is also below.
Thank you for your understanding and support of the school meal program.
Sincerely,
Stacey Jones
Director of Child Nutrition
