Christy Burnett, Office Lady at SJHS

Mrs. Christy Burnett at SJHS

Jaqueline Fry
SJHS Staff Writer

Throughout Christy Burnett’s life, her work has involved schools, and her job this year at the SJHS is being an “Office Lady,” which she says that she loves, and she loves the students she is around.

Christy Burnett was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and she lived in Nebraska during her teenage years. She and her husband have five kids, one girl and four boys.

Mrs. Burnett loves SJHS and working here. “It’s my home away from home, and has great staff,” she says. “I love my job! I work with wonderful people and learn something new every day!”

Others enjoy Mrs. Burnett’s company as well. “She is always happy and positive,” Brenda Bales, school attendance secretary, said. Mrs. Burnett’s daughter, KateLyn Burnett agreed with Mrs. Bales, “She has a fun personality that is crazy, but good. I can just be myself with her.”

Mrs. Burnett works at the SJHS as the morning secretary, and she helps Mrs. Bales with the attendance. Her main responsibilities are to record and print off the morning enrichment lists, check in all of the substitute teachers, and answer the phone. “I take every little job very seriously and do it the best I can,” Mrs. Burnett explained.

Mrs. Burnett enjoys things like scrapbooking, organizing, and reading. Her favorite books are any Jane Austen books. She dislikes rude behavior and disorganization, and loves peace and harmony.
