Burton High School Rock Building Historical Marker
Burton High School
Burton Independent School District was deeded land in 1874 to construct public schools. Burton Free School was erected in the mid 1870’s just east of downtown. Classes began in 1878. Burton High School was the second public school building constructed in Burton in 1937 with locally available building materials in Rustic and International styles. This two story building was funded by the Works Progress Administration, designed by local architect Travis Broesche, and constructed by local builder Will Weeren.
The Burton Independent School District Board of Trustees in 2014-2015 began the High School Rock Building renovation project under the direction of Marcus Broesche-President, Terri Smith-Vice President, Misty Lucherk-Secretary, Demetrius Colvin, Sr., Felton Cox, Jeff Harmel, and Ronnie Hohlt. Mr. James M. Palmer was the Superintendent at the time. The current 2015-2016 Burton Independent School District Board of Trustees who have seen the project through its completion include Demetrius Colvin, Sr.-President, Misty Lucherk-Vice President, Ronnie Hohlt-Secretary, Felton Cox, Ande Bostain, Jeff Harmel, and Brian Jaeger. Dr. Edna Kennedy is the Superintendent of Burton Schools. The project Architect was TSG Architects AIA. The Civil Engineer was Jones & Carter, Inc. The Structural Engineer was Intelligent Engineering Services, LLP. Mechanical Engineer was S. Kanetzky Engineering, LLC. The General Contractor was Collier Construction.

Good
morning from Burton Schools.
Officially
on this date since 1937, the United States celebrates Columbus Day which
commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus in the New World. This holiday
is a way to honor Columbus’ achievements and to celebrate Italian-American
heritage.
It is
National School Lunch Week so let’s recognize our Food Service Professionals who
strive to prepare nutritionally-balanced meals for our students on a daily
basis. Come discover the Great Plate of Texas with a Healthy Lunch in our
Burton School Cafeteria.
As usual,
lots of great things and student successes happening in our schools. Thanks to
all of our supporters.
Have a

Happy Monday from Burton Schools.
This first six weeks has gone by very fast
and our Elementary has been “Wild About Learning”.
Pre-K and Kindergarten explored the
Washington County Fairgrounds to get up close and personal with the show
animals and local First Responders.
First Grade has partnered with Sixth Grade
Reading Buddies where each week they share in reading AR books to encourage the
love of reading.
Second Grade Scientists’ are using their
powers of observation and a magnifying glass to see the world around them with
new eyes.
Fourth grade learned about “Selfie Safety”
and why it is important to be careful when posting pictures on the internet.
The Burton Freshman Class is selling
cookie dough as a fund raiser, so help support these students.
Washington County Fair was a record
breaking success for our Burton Panthers! Congratulations to all of our
students.
Come help our school and community show
our Panther Pride at our weekly pep rallies and sporting events.
Also, it’s Fire Prevention Week. So, thank
a Fireman!

9-28-15 Announcement
What a Fabulous Monday Morning from Burton Schools.
The season is changing, so take the time to breathe in the Fall
air. A perfect opportunity to do something new,
something bold, something beautiful! Autumn paints in colors that
summer sometimes never sees and this week our students say goodbye to September
and welcome in the month of October with all of it’s splendor.
Take a moment to appreciate all that is good around us:
·
Put on long sleeves
·
Wear a scarf or a sweater
·
Be outdoors
·
Feel the crisp breeze in the air
·
Jump in a pile of leaves
·
Wrap your hands around a warm mug
·
Eat a caramel apple
·
Carve a pumpkin
·
Go on a hayride
·
Tell stories around a fire
·
Hold hands and get cozy
·
Toast marshmallows
·
Bake cookies and pies
·
And go for a long drive just to look at the Fall Foliage…
Most of all have a great week!
