Greetings from the Principal: Mrs. Jennifer Pinon
Dear Howard Burnham Elementary Families,
I want to welcome you to our community, and I am privileged to introduce myself as the new principal of Howard Burnham Elementary. Having served this incredible school for the past 15 years, I can truly say that HBE is my second home. I am honored to take on this new role and continue growing with the students, staff, and families who make this community so special.
My love for learning has guided me throughout my career, and it is my mission to pass that love on to every student who walks through our doors. At HBE, we believe that when children feel safe, valued, and supported, they are empowered to seek knowledge, take risks, and become the best versions of themselves.
Our school theme centers on kindness, and we hold a zero-tolerance policy for bullying. We believe that when students show empathy and understanding, negative behaviors decrease and a culture of respect and care blossoms. Together, we are building a school environment where every child feels welcome, every voice is heard, and every effort is celebrated.
I am incredibly proud to work alongside a team of talented and dedicated educators who bring creative, high-quality instruction to life each day. At HBE, we hold high expectations for all students and believe that by working together—families, teachers, and the wider community—we can cultivate a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
I look forward to partnering with you this year as we support our students in reaching their fullest potential. Here’s to a wonderful school year ahead!
