About Our Teachers


Mr. Burns

I am a Worthington native and 2018 WHS graduate. I attended Minnesota West for my associates degree and Minnesota State University, Mankato for my bachelor’s degree in German. I started teaching German and Communication Arts at Worthington Senior High School in 2023.
While attending WHS, I was a Worthington-Crailsheim scholarship recipient in the 2016-2017 academic year. This unique opportunity for students has become a life passion of mine. I serve as the president of the Worthington-Crailsheim committee and have been in that position since January 2023.
A former sports editor at The Globe newspaper in Worthington. I enjoy keeping active with local southwest Minnesota athletics. My favorite sports include soccer, gymnastics, basketball and baseball. Go Trojans!
