Burley High School is a high school
in Burley, Idaho
, part of Cassia County School District #151. Its official title is Burley Senior High School and it has only had its 2100 Park Ave. address since the doors opened for the Spring Semester of 1999. The previous school was built in the 1950s, residing at the locally known address of #1 Bobcat Boulevard, and the building still exists as a satellite campus for the College of Southern Idaho. Until the 2006-2007 school year, it was exclusively a Sophomore to Senior school, delegating the Freshman class to remain at Burley Junior High School.
The school's most notable aspect is the addition of the King Fine Arts Center at the southwest corner of the school. Consisting of a 1,300 capacity audience seating area, advanced sound systems, an advanced fly system above the stage, green rooms, costume/prop loft, catwalks, band/choir practice room, and even a lecture chamber, the King Fine Arts Center remains as the most advanced "auditorium" in the entire school district. It instills a sense of pride among students and local residents alike. Steve Floyd, the band director, has worked at the school for 20+ years, won multiple band and jazz band awards, and has taken the school to the Rose Bowl.
The school also includes Skagg's Field, a sports complex built in 2008, which includes a custom-built entrance, a synthetic turf field, stadium bleachers, and a fieldhouse.
