John Burroughs High School

This is my school, and I absolutely loved it. Couldn’t have recieved a better education anywhere else. Best security, awesome food truck, and student store.

I have to say that I am a proud parent of a JBHS Sophomore & I also have a daughter who graduated in ⁶⁄₂₀₁₂. I have found that this high school is truly worth it’s weight in gold. The school football, basketball & baseball games are all set up & handled very well — the games also have a very high student, parent & school administrator attendance & participation. There is something for everyone here! I love that the campus is clean & well kept & the kids generally all care about their grades. My graduated daughter is now graduating from NYU this May & let me tell you the GREAT education complimented with plenty of AP classes this school offered really helped make this an achievement! Go Indians!!!

I attended a football game at John Burroughs High School in Burbank, CA on 9÷12÷2014. It was my 1^st time there. At their Memorial Field, the Rosemead Panthers lost to the John Burroughs Indians by a score of 45 – 17. Entry was $ 8.00 and a program was $ 10 (ten!) dollars. Parking was free. Plus, I took photos.

Why is it the track is super nice after I graduated? Doesn’t matter. I came here for a morning run and left without my shoes being dusty back in the days with the dirt track.
But going back in time when I was here at school… when I went to school there were students who thought they ruled the school, psh as if & talked about trying to go into zero period half way late. Class is class and there is a set time. Complaining why they got marked down they were late… well maybe they should of actually showed up on time. One of my teachers use to lock out the late kids. I do have to agree with another Unilocaler review, Sam. I did get some bullying by peers. But I didn’t care in the end cause I went to a better college and was all YESSS NERDS RULE. Popularity in high school doesn’t mean much and some kids do realize that. Those who don’t I don’t know what happened to them, but hopefully they have grown up.
I was in tennis and track & field. Those kids/​coaches were pretty chill. One thing for sure they always encourage everyone to push each other to the limits and more. By doing so we all kept breaking our own personal records. It is an individual sports on a big team.
The teachers here really care about the students and want them to strive the best they can. It is sad to hear some students complain about «too much» summer homework. I had those teachers and if I didn’t do all the things they planned I wouldn’t have survived college as well as I did. The books I read were used in college and I loved how thorough Ms. Calluya was. Granted when I was in her class she scared the bee-​jesus out of me but I knew where her intentions were at least.
I do wish some of my friends who were in the lower classes cared about education more. I would see peers going to school with just a purse… Does homework or notebooks even fit in there?! It was sad to see the closer graduation date came for high school, the number of kids dropping out increased. Ms. Morrison, the advanced art teacher, tried super hard for those kids who were on border line of not graduating to extend their projects and other stuff. I loved being in her class cause I was told her a reason if I was not able to complete a project and she would extend the deadline since she knew my schedule with honors/​ap classes + sports. I do drop by once awhile to drop off art supplies for her class so she doesn’t need to go buy them.

Great teachers, excellent school. Mr. Paramo rocks.

graduated form this school and im proud to say ive met some of the most amazing teachers in my life from this school. every teacher i had always had a passion in what they do. great place to have your kids graduate. The staff is always looking for even better upgrades but the lady in the discipline office seemed racist. And i was not the only one who noticed it. and i believe she still works there.

Was here for the show Choir’s BOB (Burroughs on Broadway) performance series this past weekend — it was amazing! and I’m not just saying that because my cute little sister was in it ;) I loved the screens set up inside and outside of the auditorium for optimum viewing of the interactive and outstanding show. The Playbill was also very well done. This is a great way to support your community and schools, I’d highly recommend purchasing tickets and enjoying any of the shows they put on. I’ve attended their holiday shows in the past, which are also tons of fun and really get you into the holiday spirit.

I have to say BUSD have great high school and JBHS is an example of a place you would want your kids graduating from.
The administrators are always looking for better ways to do things and better opportunities for the kids that come through their doors.
My favorite person has to be Ms. Chambers the career/​college counselor who tirelessly works to get the kids involved and exposed to the different options that are available to them.
