Burrell School District leaders are working to build trust and strengthen relationships among families, students, teachers, administrators, and the community. 

Burrell School District students ended the year with many success stories to celebrate in all areas, including academics and sports.

A Burrell guidance counselor's success with using her goldendoodle as a therapy dog has inspired other educators in the district to train their pets as therapy dogs.

Several Burrell High School juniors and seniors are joining district school board members to discuss important issues, offering students an opportunity to influence board decisions that impact them. The four students began joining school board members at the beginning of the academic year for the agenda meetings to discuss issues before members act on them during regular meetings.

As students adjust to the hardships caused by the global pandemic, Burrell School District leaders are focused on providing the support needed to ensure that students do not fall behind the learning curve.

Educators are expanding opportunities for teachers and students in Burrell School District thanks to two grants recently awarded.

Burrell joined five other southwest Pennsylvania school districts to collaborate through the Consortium for Public Education with funding from the Richard King Mellon Foundation. Leadership teams from the districts are working together through the consortium and with teams in their individual school systems to improve school design, strengthen family and community engagement, and increase career readiness for students.

Burrell District schools welcomed new educators and promoted others to new positions this academic year as students returned to the classroom.
