Email Coach Burrill- cburrill@hartdistrict.org

My name is Casey Burrill, I grew up here in the SCV and now live in Pine Mountain Club about an hour north of West Ranch. I graduated from Hart HS, played baseball at USC, and spent some time in the minor leagues with the Atlanta Braves. I earned a business degree form USC with a marketing emphasis. Needless to say I am very passionate about my Alma Mater. I cheer for the Los Angeles Kings and take it hard when they struggle and cry tears of joy when they win! I love the LA Dodgers and watch as many of the games as possible.

My wife Kris and I have 2 children. Both have graduated from college and a married. We have a dog named Max. My father taught for 34 years at Canyon HS and retired after teaching at Valencia HS. Mom taught for LA Unified school district for over 35 years. Teaching is the family curse. My brother Brady teaches math here at West Ranch and our sister teaches at Rancho Pico. I got my teaching start at Valencia HS and stayed for 2 years, then on to Saugus HS for 4, and was on the original staff at West Ranch back in 2004.

I coached baseball for 27 years. Now I just teach and enjoy my extra time traveling and following my fav sports teams.

I started a web design class named Home Page Production my second year at Valencia HS in 1998. I have been teaching a web design course ever since. We have recently changed the course to Web Development and have added a Web Development 2. I love designing web pages and teaching the craft to students.

I am excited to also teach AP Computer science Principals. 2016 was my first year teaching the course and it has been awesome! An amazing experience for any student interested in technology, coding, or computer science.

This will be another amzing school year!

Information Technology National Standards

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY is radically changing the landscape of business and the global society. Once viewed as an area only for computer programmers, engineers, and scientists, the information technology field is now viewed as an indispensable resource for organizational and personal productivity—that is, for achieving an organization’s business goals, and for facilitating the attainment of an individual’s life and career goals.

Mastery of technology tools is a requirement rather than an option for enhancing academic, business, and personal performance. To prepare students to be successful in today’s global business environment, which is increasingly dependent on—and defined by—technology tools, educators must focus on the use of technology as a tool for facilitating business functions.

Accordingly, business educators should:

coordinate information technology instruction in business education and across the curriculum;
teach students to value information technology and the impact it has on their lives;
develop students’ ability to analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and apply technologies to solve problems, increase productivity, and
improve their quality of life;
foster the development of interpersonal and service quality skills;
encourage ethical, legal, and responsible behavior;
emphasize information technology as a common thread throughout all areas of business;
encourage students to respect intellectual property, personal privacy, and information security; and
be catalysts for change.
