Mrs. Burke earns the spotlight

SuSu Burke isn't a coach's wife but she knows the lifestyle. Her husband doesn't have an offseason, and really, neither does SuSu.

She is quite a supporter of NSU athletics and all the Demons and Lady Demons teams. She's also quite a teacher.

SuSu, wife of athletics director Greg Burke, was recently presented the Em Knipmeyer Excellence in Teaching Award as the year's outstanding faculty member at St. Mary's School. The presentation of a $500 award was made at a recent school assembly by Mrs. Jo Stamey, Mrs. Knipmeyer's sister.

Greg would be the first to say that SuSu is a huge part of his success, and it's nice to see her recognized for being just as special in her profession as her hubby is in his.
