Meet Your Principal

"I was born and raised in Flint, Michigan. I attended Garfield Elementary school, Homedale Elementary, and graduated from Flint Southwestern Academy. I have chosen to stay in the area and help our youth find all their potential, and with the team we have here at Burton Glen that is exactly what we do."

- Thomas Smith II, Principal at Burton Glen
