Principal Antony Dennis
Greetings, Sustainability Academy Families,
I am excited and proud to serve as the principal of the Sustainability Academy. Our school is a wonderful place, and I look forward to working with you to keep it safe, welcoming, and fun for every student.
I want to share a little about myself so you can get to know me. I was born in Limón, Costa Rica, and moved to the United States when I was very young, growing up just outside New York City. Since 1996, I have called Burlington home. I live here with my wonderful wife and our two children.
Before I became an educator, I worked in various industries. However, I did not feel fulfilled in those jobs. My wife noticed how much I enjoyed interacting with the kids in our neighborhood and encouraged me to try teaching. The very first day I walked into a classroom as a substitute teacher, I knew I had found my calling.
I have been working in schools since 2001 in various roles. For 12 years, I taught 7th- and 8th-grade math at Edmunds Middle School right here in Burlington, and most recently, I served as the assistant principal there.
When I am not at school, I love staying active and spending time with my family. You can often find me exercising, practicing martial arts, biking, kayaking, and spending time outdoors.
As your principal, my goal is to make sure that every student feels seen, heard, and respected. Every student deserves a safe space to learn, grow, try new things, and reach their full potential.
