Ms. Patricia Burke

My first career was in Accounting.  During that time, I was the Office Manager at Lejeune Motor Company (Motorcycle Division) for ten years.  I also donated my time to the Girl Scouts as a troop leader for 12+ years.  I found that working with children was my calling and I went back to school at night to obtain my licensure in Elementary Education. 

I am going into my 19th year of teaching at Swansboro Elementary. 

My passion is for my students to reach beyond their current goals and keep dreaming about their future.
