The Beck family has become embroiled in a widening controversy after serious allegations surfaced against Haley Beck, the sister of social media personality Noah Beck. Haley, a former teacher at Centennial High School in Peoria, Arizona, was accused in a police investigation of grooming and having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student, according to reporting cited in the case materials. She was hired as a full-time teacher in 2020 after graduating from Northern Arizona University with a degree in secondary education.
The allegations began surfacing in the school community in 2025, when rumors spread involving Haley and another teacher, Angela Burlaka, and the same student. In July 2025, the student’s grandmother allegedly discovered explicit material on his phone and reported it to authorities. Soon afterward, claims emerged that Haley was also involved with the teen. A police report said the student’s mother told officers she knew her son had been sexually involved with “a teacher named Haley Beck.”
Both teachers were placed on leave in August 2025, and Burlaka later surrendered her Arizona teaching certificates during the investigation. In an interview with an investigator, Haley reportedly described her relationship with the student in conflicting terms, initially calling them “peers” before correcting herself and referring to it as a teacher-student relationship. The report said she acknowledged the student spent a lot of time in her classroom, that they communicated on Instagram during summer break, and that she had his phone number.
The police documents also described a large volume of communications between Haley and the student. According to the report, more than 4,000 text messages were exchanged between June 21 and August 2, 2025. Some of the messages were described as flirtatious and sexually charged. One exchange allegedly showed Haley offering the student money for compliments, sending him cash through Apple Pay after he praised her outfit. Other messages reportedly included references to visiting his grandfather’s house, along with language that investigators viewed as inappropriate. The documents also said Haley referred to the student as her “sugar baby,” helped him with homework, and let him drive her car.
As the investigation moved forward, Peoria Unified School District conducted an internal Title IX review. A district decision-maker concluded that Haley had groomed a student and had a sexual relationship with that student, recommending her termination. Haley had an opportunity to request a hearing, but the district later terminated her after she did not challenge the decision before the deadline.
Haley’s attorney has denied wrongdoing, saying she expected the criminal investigation to show she committed no crimes and that she was entitled to due process. District officials said the process took months because of holiday breaks, witness outreach, written charges, and the time allowed for a hearing request.
Authorities later said Haley faced a potential pandering-related felony charge, while Burlaka could face a felony charge for allegedly providing obscene material to a minor. Police also said they were investigating a possible inappropriate relationship between Haley and a second student after receiving a tip in May 2026, and that the case remained ongoing with the possibility of additional victims.
