- Burlington High School is a high school located in Burlington, Kansas, USA, serving students in grades 9-12. The school is the westernmost building in the northern education complex on the outer edge of the city limits. It is the only high school in the Unified School District No. 244. The current principal is Jim Kuhn.
- The school mascot is the Wildcat and the school colors are red, gray, and black.
- History
-
In the 1920s, the school's mascot was a giant pink grasshopper. In 1996, a courtyard and gazebo in the center of the facility was enclosed and converted to computer technology labs. In 2005, an addition was made to the athletics portion of the campus by adding baseball and softball diamonds, so the team could play closer to the school. In 2007, an addition was made to the athletics portion of the campus by adding a wrestling room so the team could have a bigger facility to practice in. Over the last decade, several security measures have been enacted to protect the students and faculty in the wake of incidents such as Columbine, even though there has been no reported serious cause to believe similar events will happen.
- Campus
-
The front of the building houses the administration offices, band practice room and special services rooms. The school gymnasium is located on the western side of the main building. A wrestling wing is on the northwest corner of the school. The school also has a football field and track with a large red brick stadium and softball/baseball diamonds. To the east is the Middle School which houses grades 6 through 8. A courtyard and gazebo used to be in the center of the facility. However this was closed to the outside and turned into a technology lab and computer-aided drafting room.
