McArthur Gym Floor Renovation- The new floor will begin being "poured" the week of August 24th. The floor has been fully funded, mostly by donations and contributions from community members, businesses and industry partners. Thank you to ALL who have contributed. We have also raised about half of the cost of the new scoreboards and are setting our sights towards acquisition and installation of acoustical/sound tiles. If you have an interest in contributing to the project, please contact BHS Principal- Jarrod Bessire: jbessire@burlingtonk12.org

Cougar Weekly

Welcome back, Cougars! As we gear up for another exciting academic year at Burlington Middle and High School, I want to extend a warm greeting to all our returning students and those joining our school family for the first time. Our hallways are ready to come alive with your energy, curiosity, and school spirit. This year brings fresh opportunities to challenge yourselves academically, excel in extracurricular activities, and strengthen our vibrant school community. Remember that every new beginning is a chance to set bold goals, support one another, and show what it truly means to represent the Cougar name. While our middle and high school students jump right into the rhythm this week, our younger Burlington Cougars at the elementary school will be joining us shortly when their classes kick off on Wednesday. Let's start the year strong, lead by example for our younger peers, and make this our best school year yet. Go Cougars!
