Mrs. Justice Joins Science Department

Brandi Justice
by Mary Tootill, sophomore

Mrs. Brandi Justice is a new face at John I. Burton High School! She teaches chemistry and physical science. Justice attended college at UVA-Wise and graduated with a chemistry degree. This is her first year being a teacher, but she was previously a freshman mentor at UVA-Wise, along with being a teacher assistant.

"The adjustment has been going smooth so far. Just taking everything day by day with God's good grace," Justice said.

One of the biggest challenges so far has been trying to adapt to the pace of teaching, along with learning people's names, "The hardest thing for me is learning everyone's names! I am awful at names," she said.

Despite the few challenges Justice has faced, she has enjoyed her time at John I. Burton so far, "The experience has been amazing, I couldn't ask for a better working staff as a first year teacher."

Mrs. Justice has a husband, a 3-year-old daughter, and a baby on the way! "After receiving my job at Burton, I found out that we are expecting baby number two; we are very excited," she said. Justice's husband is currently attending Southwest Community College to obtain his nursing degree.

Outside of school, Mrs. Justice spends her time working outside, playing tennis, camping, attending church, and playing with her daughter, "We color a lot," she said.
