School Spirit
School spirit is abundant on campus throughout the year but never more so than during our fall Spirit Week.
Drey Land
The school's 40-acre wilderness camp in the Ozarks hosts the seventh grade orientation in the fall, as well as a science field study program for ninth graders in the spring. Many outdoor education programs also take place at Drey Land.
Great Performances
Our senior orchestra is one of 10 instrumental and vocal classes, each of which includes multiple performances throughout the school year. Our Music Department also offers courses in music history and songwriting.
Old Newsboys Day 2022
Burroughs students and faculty collected more than $3,500 in donations during Old Newsboys Day, which benefits St. Louis-area children's charities.
The Arts Front and Center
All of our students participate in some aspect of our arts program: drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography—from the introductory level to intensive studies.
Class 4 State Champions
Led by Coach Jacob Yorg, the girls varsity basketball team (22-4) finished their season by claiming its first state championship in its fifth final four appearance.
National Merit Semifinalists
Twenty-three students in the class of 2023 were recently named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists — the highest number of semifinalists in the state of Missouri.
Leave no part of yourself at the door.
