Burnet High School Home

Sharon Massey is the driving force behind our school’s healthcare program. She does far more than teach; she creates meaningful connections between the classroom and the medical profession. While many educators’ days end with the final bell, she is often still on campus in the evenings and on weekends, personally preparing students for certification exams and HOSA competitions.

Her impact reaches far beyond our campus. Through her service on the HOSA State Board and the countless hours she volunteers, she ensures our students stay at the forefront of health science education. One of her most remarkable contributions is her hands-on approach to building community partnerships. She has cultivated a strong network of local doctors, hospitals, veterinary clinics, and pharmacies, opening doors for students to gain real-world experience.

Because of her tireless dedication, students have access to invaluable internship placements and weekly nursing home clinicals, opportunities that are essential in shaping confident and capable healthcare professionals. Mrs. Massey carries this tremendous responsibility with quiet humility and unwavering commitment. She is not just a cornerstone of our school; she is the reason our students graduate prepared to make a difference and, ultimately, to save lives.

​Coach Shane Carbee is a rare example of an educator who treats every environment, whether it’s a laboratory or a locker room, as a high-performance classroom. He is "the best of the best" in the business of education and student development. He demonstrates excellence by consistently going the extra mile through his incredible versatility and relatability. Coach Carbee’s impact isn't limited to a single field; he brings the same high energy and dedication to his science classes as he does to the weight room, the indoor facility, the football field, or the soccer pitch. He has a unique ability to find ways to reach every single student, meeting them exactly where they are regardless of their starting point or background. Furthermore, he maintains a culture of high standards and accountability. He is a firm believer that excellence is the standard, and whether he is coaching an elite athlete or teaching a student in a lab, he is consistently demanding the best from them. He doesn't just ask for hard work; he holds every individual accountable, teaching them that true growth comes from discipline and responsibility. Ultimately, Shane understands that growing students is about more than just scores or stats. His "extra mile" is found in the quiet moments of mentorship and the tireless hours he spends ensuring his students and athletes have the tools they need to succeed. He doesn't just teach a subject or a sport; he builds character.
