“The mission of John Burroughs High School is to create a learning

environment where students grow and succeed academically, socially, and vocationally.

We will maintain a partnership among the faculty, administration, students and parents that is

supportive and responsive to their needs and the needs of the school. We will provide positive role models for students. Students are expected to be honest and respectful of others.”

The mission of John Burroughs High School can only be achieved with the help and support of dedicated teachers and a supportive community. Happily, the school has both.

The teaching staff at Burroughs is among the very best in the state, with active participation that permeates every aspect of the school community.

And the parents from Burroughs are amazing. If you ask for volunteers to support an event, an army of parents arrive ready to work.

John Burroughs High School humbly accepts the recognition of being the “Best Public High School in Burbank” knowing that the city is fortunate to have two outstanding comprehensive high schools and a continuation school that has received distinction by the state of California.

Kudos Burbank Unified School District!
