BHS Excellence Fund

Excellence is a team effort.

What is the BHS Excellence Fund?

The Excellence Fund is Burlingame High School’s annual giving program, made possible through the generosity of our families and local business partners. Last year, our community came together to raise $681,000, directly enhancing students’ daily experiences by funding essential staff positions and programs that expand academic opportunities and strengthen student success.

The Excellence Fund helps reduce class sizes, broaden academic offerings, and provide the personalized support that enables every student to thrive. Together, our collective generosity sustains the exceptional educational experience that makes BHS such a special place to learn, grow, and succeed.

Every gift, at every level, helps ensure BHS students have access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.
