What is a memorable moment for you?
At the beginning of the year, [Head of School] Damian was making jokes for assembly and when he was proctoring lunch. I remember him making me tear up because of how cheesy and funny they were.

How would you describe Burke to a new student?
Burke accepts you for who you are. The teachers are so understanding in any situation, and there are always people there to help you.
