La Sra. Pam Powell-Burtis se mudó a Fayetteville desde Irving, Texas, en octubre de 2022, después de que su esposo John partiera a casa para estar con el Señor. Espera con ilusión lo que el Señor tiene planeado para ella en esta nueva etapa de su vida. Sus estudios incluyen un Grado Asociado en Administración de Empresas del Owens Technical College en Toledo, Ohio. Posteriormente, la Sra. Burtis obtuvo su Licenciatura en la Universidad de Texas en Arlington.
After 20 years of management positions in the corporate world she joined her husband, John, at their mom-and-pop pharmacy in Irving, Texas. Mrs. Burtis managed the daily operations and customer service while John served as a beloved pharmacist to many in their community. In her free time, she loved serving her community with ministries and organizations like the Salvation Army and Red Cross. Through the years, serving in the Children’s Ministries in her home church was a blessing that grew her faith in and love for children.
As a child, Mrs. Burtis was inspired by many of her teachers to become a school teacher herself one day. Out of retirement, the Good Lord is making her dream come true. She is beyond excited to serve with Dr. Simmons, Mr. Simmons, and all the exceptional faculty and staff at this Academy. Mrs. Burtis feels blessed in being a part of this village where Christian character is made and lifelong learning is inspired!
