Burlington High School is the largest high school in Burlington, Wisconsin and the only high school in the Burlington Area School District. The school's mascot is the Demon, and the school colors are orange and black. The school's fight song borrows the melody of the traditional Navy song: "Anchor's Aweigh."

The starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Romo, graduated from Burlington High School in 1998.

Burlington Senior High School no longer offers driver's education courses to students. Budget cuts eliminated the driver's education program. It is the parent's responsibility to seek a private driving school. The student may opt to wait until he or she is 18 years old and go to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). At age 18, you need to study the driver's education manual, pass a written test and possess a driving permit for a minimum of six months and take a behind the wheel road test before getting your license.
