Mr. Burke
Fourth Grade Teacher
Hello, my name is Eric Burke and I’m excited to be a new member of the Huron Academy family. I grew up in Massachusetts before I moved to Michigan and sometimes my Boston accent will come out. I graduated from Oakland University in 2017 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary Education and a minor in language arts. I have worked at Hope of Detroit the past five years as a sixth, fifth, and fourth grade teacher. I enjoy working with children and believe it is important to build strong relationships.
Before I decided to become a teacher, I was an active duty member of the United States Army. I deployed to Afghanistan for a year and learned many valuable lessons that I carry with me. I am married and have a four year old daughter and a yellow Labrador Retriever. Reading and writing are my passions and I love sports, especially hockey.
Please feel free to contact me at the school or send an email to burkee@huronacademy.org.
