On Thursday, May 8th, from 6pm-8pm, BHS will welcome the Class of 2029 and their caregivers for an Open House night. We hope to offer a warm welcome to our rising 9th graders from Hunt and Edmunds Middle Schools as we celebrate their big transition. Students will have the chance to explore the campus, preview student life, meet with academic departments, and feel more informed about their freshman year to come.  

On Tuesday, April 8th and Wednesday, April 9th most BHS students will engage in one or more of the following tests:

• Vermont Comprehensive Assessment Program (VTCAP)
• American College Testing (ACT)
• Pre-American College Testing (Pre-ACT)

It is important to note that students are scheduled to arrive earlier than our typical school-day start and should arrive on campus beginning at 7:45 am in order to begin testing promptly at 8 am. 

Though not testing, 12th graders’ attendance is required, as they will be engaged in work on their presentations of learning for their Personal Learning Plans (PLP) each day.

On Saturday, March 15, 2025, Burlington High School will offer the SAT college preparatory exam. If you would like to take the SAT at BHS, please submit your completed SAT Registration Form and test fee by Friday, January 31, 2025.

The cost of testing is $68, payable by cash or check only. Checks should be made payable to Burlington High School and include your student’s name/BHS SAT on the memo line. You may hand-deliver or mail the check to the BHS Main Office by Friday, January 31, 2025.

Students who meet the income requirements for federal Free and/or Reduced Lunch Program
(FRPL) will be offered a reduced test fee rate of $41 to take the SAT.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our Testing Coordinator, Mr. David Rome, at bhs-apc@bsdvt.org.
