Erik Burmeister asked for it, and he got it. Hillview School eighth-grader Andrew gives his principal’s head a close shave on April 5 while students Madeline, left, and Gaby watch.
The students were among the four top-ranked achievers in the school’s test Acceleration Model program, begun in January to help kids who are struggling with math and reading.
The principal had promised that the program’s top achievers could shave his head, and he’s a man of his word.

Congrats Andrew! Keep up the good work!
It’s been a long time coming, but the Menlo Park City School District is so fortunate to finally have a principal like Erik Burmeister at the helm of the middle school. He’s more than a lot of politically correct talk — he’s actually made very positive changes to level the playing field and make every student at Hillview feel welcome and capable. Good for all of us!
yes, congrats to all. Been a long time since i was at Hillview!!
