Onward and Forward  
There's still snow on the ground in Manchester, but spring is coming—actual spring, Senior Spring, and the spring of cautious optimism after a long year of distance. With the utmost care for health and safety, we are moving ahead with plans for Reunion 2021 to be held right here on campus on September 24-26, 2021!
All alumni are invited; if you are in a reunion class year (for this double reunion, that's os, 1s, 5s, and 6s), help us spread the word to your classmates by volunteering at alumni@burrburt on.org.
Keep an eye on the Reunion Weekend page, and we'll see you in September at the Belltower.
Five Things That Matter with Vance Griffith '92
From the Green Mountains of Vermont to the vast expanse of the American West, Burr and Burton alum Vance Griffith has forged his own path. 
Feature: All for One, One for All
Read how Burr and Burton's culture of care and support underpinned the fall 2020 reopening and kept the school community focused on mission and safety.
 
While most of Burr and Burton's collective attention focused this fall on the challenges of reopening in the face of a pandemic, a beacon of hope and optimism quietly took shape behind the Seminary Building.

Burr and Burton alum Colin O’Leary ‘09 was in the middle of a Ph.D. studying respiratory viruses when the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020.

Local Business TPW Supports Opportunities in Performing Arts
How do you teach music when your students cannot be in the same room? How can you teach a composition when half of your students are learning remotely on any given day?  How do you make music relevant to high school students living through a global health crisis.
These were some of the questions Creative Arts Department Chair Neil Freebern and his colleagues in the Burr and Burton music program faced as they planned their instruction for the 2020-21 school year.
