Meet Emily M. Burrus, the dynamic French teacher who lights up Pisgah High School in western North Carolina with her passion for Francophone cultures. As World Language Department Chair, she's twice named Teacher of the Year and honored with UNC World View’s Carol Tresolini Award. Anyone who walks into her classroom is greeted with a warm “Bonjour” and feels transported from Pisgah to Paris. Emily’s passion for Francophone cultures shines through in her work, from hosting Francophone Week celebrations to adding a dash of French to school celebrations. Her collaborations with institutions like UNC Chapel Hill, Duke University, and the French Embassy further her mission to advocate for global language learning. In 2024, she was named FLANC's Teacher of the Year and serves on the NC Governor's Teaching Advisory Council, sharing her expertise beyond the classroom. Outside of teaching, she enjoys traveling, crafting, and snowy mornings with coffee.
