Michael R. Burns

Teacher   Coach    Writer   Podcast Host

Mike Burns has been teaching and coaching in the Atlanta area for nearly 30 years. He has assisted students who attended colleges all over the world. As a member of the Marist School English Department since 1999, Mike encourages students to think and write critically. One of the most fulfilling aspects of his career is the many relationships he develops with students and their families. Long after the days in the classroom and the competitions on the athletic fields have passed, Mike considers many of these people friends and colleagues. 

Mike is a graduate of Furman University, with a Masters Degree in Teaching English from Agnes Scott College.  Mike enjoys travel, reading, gardening, and music. As an avid cyclist, Mike is always up for adventure, especially if it involves the mountains (and if the mountains are in Spain, even better!).  Read on for a bit more information about Mike's teaching and coaching experience.
