The Burke Bengals compete in the
Potomac Valley Athletic Conference (PVAC). In 2023-24, they recorded
two team PVAC championships (soccer, swimming),
seven individual championships (swimming, track & field), and
25 all-conference honors, as well as
one DCSAA all-state team selection.
Core to our athletics program is our
"no cut" policy. That policy does not guarantee placement on a high school varsity roster, nor does it guarantee a certain amount of playing time. But it does ensure that all students who want to play a sport will have
a place on a team.
At Burke, experienced, passionate athletes
get to play their sport, rather than spend practice and games on the sidelines. They aren't limited to one position or even one sport. Students who are hesitant about athletics are welcomed and sometimes discover a
new ability.
