What Burnsville Senior High School does

Burnsville Senior High School (BHS) is a public high school located at 600 E. Highway 13 in Burnsville, Minnesota, operated by Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191. The school serves students in grades 9-12 through a comprehensive academic program structured around the One91 Pathways system, which comprises 14 career-focused pathways organized across four career fields: Arts/Communications, Business/Entrepreneurship, Engineering/Manufacturing, and Health Sciences/Human Services. BHS offers an Associate of Arts Degree Pathway in partnership with Inver Hills Community College, enabling students to earn a two-year college degree concurrently with their high school diploma; the first cohort of 41 students completed this program. The school also operates the College in the Schools program with the University of Minnesota, offering transferable college credits at reduced cost with potential savings exceeding $920,000 for District 191 students.

The school's technology stack includes Schoology as its learning management system, ParentVue for parent communication, and various career pathway simulation software in computer labs. A voter-approved technology levy provides approximately $4.6 million per year to support technology infrastructure. BHS holds industry accreditations including ASE Education Foundation accreditation for its automotive training program in Maintenance and Light Repair, and has developed notable competitive programs in performing arts (Theatre Guild) and robotics (Blaze Robotics, ranked No. 1 in Minnesota with 2023 FIRST Robotics Championship qualification). The school offers 28 athletic programs across fall, winter, and spring seasons under the Blaze mascot identity.

As a public institution, BHS operates under a non-commercial funding model supported by state education funding, local property taxes (including the voter-approved technology levy), and federal grants. Core education is provided free of charge to district residents, with nominal fees for specific programs such as the Preschool Lab at $20 per session. The school serves multiple stakeholder segments including students (primary), families and parents (engaged through ParentSquare, ParentVue, and volunteer programs), and institutional partners spanning higher education, government agencies, and community organizations. Recent strategic emphasis has focused on expanding dual-credit opportunities, increasing graduation rates (which rose more than 4% for the class of 2025), and developing pathways that integrate industry certifications with academic credentials.
