Support our 2026-27 Excellence Fund Campaign
August 2026
Dear Burlingame High School Students and Families,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! I am honored and excited to introduce myself as your new principal. BHS has a rich tradition of excellence and community spirit, and I am thrilled to join this community as we embark on a new academic year together.
I want to share two core commitments that will guide my leadership and our work together: equity and connection.
Equity for Every Student: Every student who walks through our doors deserves an environment where they feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed. My goal is to ensure that all students have access to the resources, opportunities, and the encouragement they need to develop and prepare for their future.
Connection: You will see me regularly in the hallways, dropping into classrooms, attending athletic events, clapping during performing arts events, and cheering on our Panthers across all campus activities. My door is open, and I look forward to getting to know our students, listening to their stories, and working alongside our incredible parents and guardians to ensure student success.
It is important to me that our community thrives, experiences joy, and connects in a meaningful way. One way to do this is to connect with our BHS Parents Group. I encourage you to:
Check your inbox for the newsletter every Sunday at 7:00 PM.
Follow the parent group on Instagram @bhsparentsgroup
Bookmark their website (www.bhsparentsgroup.org) and check back regularly for news, events, volunteer opportunities, and important updates.
If you have questions for the parent group, please reach out at info@bhsparentsgroup.org
We have a fantastic year ahead of us. Together, let’s make this a wonderful and inspiring year for everyone at Burlingame High School.
Sincerely,
Principal Lauren Kelly
