Dr. Mia Luke, Principal

Welcome,

I am Dr. Mia Luke, honored to assume the role of principal at Blakeney Elementary School. As a lifelong member of this community and a graduate of Burke County Public Schools, I am deeply committed to serving both the students and staff with dedication and integrity.

My educational career spans numerous roles within Burke County, beginning as a special education teacher at Burke County Middle School for 12 years. I subsequently served as assistant principal at Waynesboro Primary School, followed by a return to Burke County Middle School in the same capacity. Most recently, I held the position of Student Support Coordinator for the Burke County Board of Education, where my focus areas included Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), and Section 504 compliance under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Drawing from this breadth of experience, I am committed to fostering innovation and excellence at Blakeney Elementary.

My vision for the school is to maintain a safe and professional learning environment while advancing instructional practices that deliver measurable, positive outcomes. This academic year’s theme, #NewFace, NewPlace, NewGrace, reflects the exciting transitions we embark upon together. It is my goal to positively sustain effective strategies and promptly address areas requiring improvement. I eagerly anticipate collaborating with our community to cultivate a school environment distinguished by success, support, and shared pride.

Respectfully,

Dr. Mia L. Luke
