Be part of the nest at Bussey

At Bussey Middle School, we believe great schools don’t just happen; they’re built by passionate educators who feel supported, valued, and inspired every day.

From your first day as an Owlet, you’ll notice something different here.

Leadership that lifts you higher

Our campus is led by a principal who is a recipient of the H-E-B Excellence in Education Award, recognized for outstanding leadership and a proven track record of building both student success and staff morale.

Our administrative team doesn’t just manage a campus. They actively invest in people. Teachers are supported, celebrated, and challenged to grow in meaningful ways. Whether it’s through consistent feedback, recognition, or simply being present and approachable, our leadership team creates an environment where educators can thrive.

A team that has your back

At Bussey, you’re never on your own.

Our instructional coaches and collaborative teams work side by side with teachers to plan, problem-solve, and celebrate successes. We believe in lifting each other up, sharing ideas, and growing together.

It’s more than teamwork. It’s a culture where people genuinely enjoy working together.

Students who make it worth it

Our Owlets are the heart of everything we do.

They are curious, energetic, and full of potential. Our staff works hard to create a positive environment where students feel seen, supported, and motivated to grow, not just academically, but as individuals.

A culture that makes work enjoyable

We know education is challenging work, and we believe it should also be meaningful and enjoyable.

Our campus culture is intentionally built to support morale through:

• Staff recognition and celebrations
• Positive relationships across departments
• A shared sense of purpose and humor
• Leadership that listens and responds
