It's an honor to lead Burke High School as Principal. My wife Debbie and I have two sons who graduated from Burke High School in 2017 and 2019 and we have been living within this community for 17 years. This is my 29th year working with students and families of the Omaha Public Schools. Burke High School has a strong tradition of Loyalty, Integrity, and Honor within our academics, athletics, and activities. I look forward to building on those traditions of excellence for years to come. I'm proud to be a Bulldog! 

I am a proud alum of Omaha North High School, McMillan Magnet Center, and Ponca Elementary School. Omaha is my home. It is a pleasure to serve as the Assistant Principal-Academic Director at Burke High School. Over the past 8 years, I have had the privilege to work with teams that have created progressive programs offering the most AP courses of any High School in the State of Nebraska, the first AP Capstone Diploma School in Nebraska, the first Air and Space Academy in Nebraska to offer students a pathway to a Private Pilot's License or UAV License, and much more. We are Nebraska's comprehensive Academy High School and leading teams of talented staff and community partners to prepare our scholars for the future is my passion. Dr. Michael J. Dietz said, "The schedule is a graphic representation of the core values of a school." As the building Master Scheduler, it is my honor to ensure that all students have an engaging, rigorous, and rewarding academic experience at Burke. Our values of Loyalty, Integrity, and Honor shine through every detail of our academic program and promise to our scholars. At Burke, our focus is you.

In 2017, I started at Burke High School as a Dean of Students and Assistant Athletic Aide. Prior to moving into school administration, I worked for 25 years in Missouri as a classroom teacher of social studies. I have coached varsity volleyball, basketball, sponsored student council and currently serve as an Assistant Principal/Director of Activities.  Burke has an outstanding tradition of excellence in academics, activities, and athletics and I am honored to be a Burke Bulldog.

Mr. Williams has been with Burke High since 2010. He spent four years as a Dean and two years as the Activities Director before becoming the Athletic Director in 2016. This is his 26th year with OPS.
