Burlington welcomes Principal Gerrett Spears
November 19, 2021
Burlington Schools has taken on various new staff members. One of them is the high school principal, Gerrett Spears.
Spears has added the energy and professionalism that Burlington needed. His favorite thing about Burlington is the community. He says the community has welcomed his family and the events held remind him of events held when he was growing up in Garber.
Spears has been in education for nine years and has spent nine years coaching basketball. He has worked in Weatherford, Enid, Drummond and Kingfisher. Watching students grow daily has become his favorite part of his job.
The best career lesson he has learned so far is that the world is changed by your example, not your opinion.
When he's not working, he loves cooking and claims to own his own brand: Lil G's BBQ. Spears' favorite food is also anything barbeque. When asked which three words best describe him, Spears says "Christian," "energetic" and "tenacious" fit him well.
