Hello everyone! I am Hattie Burford, born and raised in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. I am a Scottsbluff High School Alumni, graduated from Chadron State College with my Bachelor of Science in Education with an endorsement in 7-12 Mathematics, and graduated from Chadron State College with my Masters of Arts in Education-Mathematics in December 2019. Most recently, I added an Educational Administration/Secondary Principal 7-12 endorsement to my masters degree. 

Throughout my education at Chadron State College, I had the amazing opportunity to play on the Women's Basketball Team, building life-long relationships. Here at SHS, I am the  assistant Girls' Basketball coach, as well as the assistant Cross Country coach. I am a firm believer that teamwork, both in and out of the classroom, is essential in order for students to recieve the best opportunity to learn. I am very passionate about motivating myself and others to set and pursue goals that help students excel in their education, and become contributors to our society. 

In my spare time I like to read, play with my dogs, ride horses, run, and socialize.

I am a wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend, competitor and educator!
