Dear BHS Students,

The administration, faculty and staff welcome you to Burlington High School. While a student at Burlington High you will be encouraged to set challenging goals and meet high expectations.

As a comprehensive high school, BHS offers an extensive program of studies and a rigorous curriculum that prepares its students for lifelong learning and responsible citizenship. Upon successful completion of your high school program you will be ready to meet the entry requirements of prospective employers and the most demanding institutions of higher learning. 

BHS students are expected to demonstrate acceptance, tolerance, self-control and respect for all individuals. During your high school career you will have many opportunities to extend your learning beyond the classroom setting. Through co-curricular activities, athletics, and events such as the summer reading program, travel abroad, student exchanges and theatrical productions, you will grow personally and academically.

The student handbook will assist you in making well-informed choices and decisions. It includes a summary of important school policies, procedures, and standards that you should review and discuss with your parent/guardian. Your high school administrators and your guidance counselor are available to answer your questions and support you throughout the school year. Do not hesitate to approach them or me with any questions you may have.

Please accept my best wishes for a productive and rewarding school year. 

Sincerely,

Mark J. Sullivan Principal
