I've been working at J.B.H.S. since October 2001 as a Sustitute Instructional Assistant, mostly with Special Education. The overall atmosephere is great. Most of the students seem to get along good. This school has a great "Best Buddies" program where the special ed kids interact with their other schoolmates on & off campus. J.B.H.S.has a Great principle in Mr.Urioste " Mr. U"

Perfect school. It has all the things my child needs to have a great high school experience. Outstanding in extracurricular activities; great choir, band, sports, etc. Teacher always have a fantastic attitude towards their students. This school has an excellent way of presenting itself. They provide lots of shows and teachers spend extra time for students to achieve high grades and make students feel at home and happy all four years.

My daughter was enrolled in a local private school for her freshman year and we ran into many complications. It got so bad, I had to pull her out and I placed her at Burroughs. We couldn't be happier! The staff is wonderful and they help her stay on track while maintaining a 3.8 GPA while being involved in extracurricular activities and sports. My daughter has made many friends and so have I. We couldn't be happier!

I am extremely proud to teach at JBHS. Our administration is supportive, we have outstanding teachers that go above and beyond and our school feels like 'home'. We are a very large family.

I was really impressed by Burroughs ability to make their school seem like a community in itself, the Principal and all the staff are so involved, and their pride in the school is easily seen

With all the school shootings going on in the rest of the country I was a little concerned, but I spoke to the Assistant Principal. They have all sorts of stuff in place to keep the kids safe. They really care about the kids. It feels like a family!

Great School, although like other schools there are some great teachers and other who shouldn't be teaching. Great choir program.
