our mission

Inspiring and challenging students through diverse opportunities.

Located in Burlington, Iowa, the Burlington Community School District strives to have a profoundly positive impact on each student's adult quality of life brought about by the students' individual and collective educational experience.

We are raising Grayhounds.

The Burlington Community School District supports all students achieving skills and abilities to become productive citizens in the community in which they live. This includes academic goals, social competencies, employability skills, and technology skills. These skills are a guide for teachers and students in determining projects and areas of focus at various grade levels.
