Please join us in welcoming Blair Clark to Burkburnett ISD!
She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana, and later completed her Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in Mathematics from Black Hills State University in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Mrs. Blair Clark will teach seventh grade math at BMS. Mrs. Clark brings 10 years of experience in education, including teaching third, fourth, and fifth grades, serving as a math interventionist, and teaching seventh grade math. She chose to become an educator because of the lasting impact a special high school teacher had on her life. Through encouragement and genuine care for her education, that teacher inspired Mrs. Clark to become the same kind of supportive and caring educator for her own students.
In her spare time, Mrs. Clark enjoys reading, crafting, scrapbooking, golfing, and camping with her family and their three dogs in their pop-up camper. She also enjoys home improvement projects, whether refinishing antique furniture or repainting kitchen cabinets.
Mrs. Clark is excited to join the BISD family. Her husband currently serves in the United States Air Force and recently received orders to Sheppard Air Force Base. After researching the area, Mrs. Clark knew Burkburnett ISD was the district where she wanted both to teach and for her son to attend school. Their family looks forward to making Burkburnett their home.
