The Burroughs experience has always cultivated curiosity to inspire students to more fully explore, enjoy, and contribute to the world around them.
Igniting curious minds.
At our core, Burroughs is a close community that encourages students to be curious. To think. To question. To learn with their heads, hearts, and hands. To share with and learn from one another. Our students learn by doing. They are active in student government. They compete on the playing fields. They create and perform. They serve. They learn how to try, to succeed, and, sometimes, how to fail and the importance of trying again. Their learning begins with the spark of curiosity that ignites their imaginations. The ideas we ignite in the minds of our students ultimately inspire change in our school and in our community, and our students are always leading the way.
