Administration

Hello my name is Frank Brown:

This is a very exciting time in my career. I am humbled to have been named principal of Burnet STREAM Magnet Elementary. A campus with such a rich history and named in honor of David G. Burnet, the first Interim President of The Republic of Texas 1836.

 I'm just a country boy from East Texas. I grew up in Crockett, Tx. and  attended Crockett ISD, after graduating from Crockett High School ,  I attended Sam Houston State University, where I received my Bachelors of Art in Criminal Justice, I have my Master in Education and Administration from Grand Canyon University, and earned my Superintendent Certification from Harris County Department of Education.

 After completing my Bachelors degree at Sam Houston,  I returned home to Crockett to give back to the community that had poured so much into me. I worked 1 year for the Texas Youth Commission as a Youth Activity Supervisor at the Crockett State School. I later became the first African American Juvenile Probation Officer for Houston County in Crockett. As I continued to expand and progress in my career, I accepted a job in Houston, Tx. as Juvenile Parole Officer for the Texas Youth Commission where I served for 8 years.

 In 2006,  I made one of the best choices of my life and that was to change my career to become an educator. I accepted my first teaching job at Fort Bend ISD as a Special Education Teacher, Coach; eventually becoming a History Teacher. I had developed such a true passion for teaching and coaching which inspired me to want to become an administrator. 

My first administrator position was an elementary assistant principal at Peete Elementary with Tyler ISD. I would later have to relocate back to Houston for personal reasons where I became an assistant principal in Fort Bend ISD for Lake Olympia and Bowie Middle Schools, where I gave dedicated service for 10 years.

In 2018, I received my first principal job in Coldspring/Oakhurst ISD, where I served the scholars, staff and community for 3 years, where I was successful in achieving high academic success, putting scholars needs first and coaching and growing teachers. I would later transition to Wharton ISD, then eventually get an opportunity to serve in amazing, school district and a supportive community here in Galveston. 

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that Galveston ISD has afforded me in being the principal of n all 6^th grade campus at Austin Middle School for two years, naming me the 2023-2024 "Secondary Principal of The Year" and now the principal of Burnet Elementary. 

As principal of Burnet Elementary,  I am here to "Serve", the Scholars first, as well as the parents, staff and community. I am truly humble and grateful for this opportunity. If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to contact me.  I look forward to meeting many of you and shaking hands with you.
