Burlington Community High School, or Burlington High School, is a four-year public high school located in Burlington, Iowa. The school has an enrollment of 1,092 students in grades 9 through 12. It is located at 421 Terrace Street and takes up the entire block on the west side of the street, from Terrace Drive, to Roosevelt Avenue, and north-south, from Division Street, to Johanssen Drive. The current building was completed in 1969, with the first graduating class in 1970. Prior to that, the school was located in another two-building campus two blocks west of Central Avenue, near the downtown business district. Until 1983, 9th grade students were enrolled in a separate building. The following school year, ninth grade was integrated into the high school.

As the only high school in the district, it serves Burlington and Middletown, as well as residences in the western portion of West Burlington.^[2][3]

The school sports teams are called the Grayhounds, and is only one of two high schools in the nation to use a purple and gray color scheme.^{[citation needed]}
