Assistant Principal Email Phone: 262-763-0190 EXT: 3004 Hello! I hope you and your families are well. I am very proud to serve as the Assistant Principal at Karcher Middle School. The building itself is phenomenal, the teachers are exemplary, the students are engaged, and the atmosphere is positive!
I am a Burlington resident who enjoys the outdoors, especially up in northern Wisconsin where both my parents, and one of my three sisters live. I enjoy and participate in many activities in and around our city and enjoy giving back to the community. I have two children, Milania and Maverick, and my wife's name is Jordan.
I have served as a teacher in the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District as well as the Burlington Area School District. I have also served as the Interim Assistant Principal at Burlington High School. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin La Crosse with my undergraduate degree in Physical Education and Health Education and Carroll University with my master's degree in Educational Leadership.
My philosophy of education is to provide students the opportunity to enjoy learning not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. I seek to encourage students to try new things and find out what they enjoy by joining activities, clubs, and athletics; It's a great way to build new friendships and/or make current relationships stronger too.
Please feel free to contact me anytime with questions or opportunities that are available for your child/children, their siblings or yourself. Burlington Area School District is always growing and learning new and improved ways to perform and be our best!
Take care!
Jon Nelson
