School History:
The Howard Burnham Elementary School is the flagship school in the Burnham Wood Charter School District. Upon opening in 1998, it became the first charter school in El Paso County. The school was a result of the vision and hard work of its original founders, Howard and Iris Burnham. Howard Burnham held a Master's Degree in Social Work.
He had served as Executive Director of several social service agencies including the Jewish Federation of El Paso and El Paso Family Services, before joining forces with his wife to embark on their dream to offer high-quality education to El Paso children.
Howard Burnham's pledge to community service extended beyond the walls of the school he helped to create.
