I have a daughter who is a Junior at ORHS. I have been watching his interactions with the kids for the last 3 years and it is amazing. Watching the students walk up to him to talk at sporting events. The yelling across campus "Hi Me. Burke" with big smiles. This is the kind of Principal we need at this school. One who expects tenured teachers to teach and work just as much as those who have not earned their tenure yet. This is what makes ORHS a fantastic learning institution. I will be writing a letter of support to the Board!!!

So grateful to see our community's ability to rally around such a good person, a great friend, a wonderful neighbor and a positive representative of our community. Our family supports him fully and we hope that we can all rally others to join the cause. #BackBurke

As a parent of two students one who had recently graduated, and one who is in her senior year. Our dealings and respect for Paul comes with the highest regard. It is difficult, not knowing the circumstances, however, I would hope he would be reinstated based on his positive influence on the students at Oak Ridge and the positive interaction he has had with the parents.

As the parent of a 2014 OR grad and two current OR students I can say that Paul Burke has been an amazing principal and role model for Oak Ridge students.

The swell of support for Paul is proof of his leadership and the great work he is doing each day at Oak Ridge. His actions, interactions, conversations and decisions have had an incredible impact on the students, families and greater community which is why he must remain Principal at ORHS. #backburke

Paul Burke is an excellent principal and lives within our neighborhood - so he has vested interest in the community and the school. He has always been friendly (knows my name!) and wants to do the right thing.

My son graduated 2 years ago. Mr Burke is an amazing principal and the kids love him. I was on the grad night committee for 4 years and he was amazing and encouraging. He is very receptive and makes himself present on the campus during lunches and before and after school. It would be a complete mistake and a tragedy to not have Paul Burke as principal of ORHS
