Burlington Students Say Goodbye to Macy's

Burlington High School students bid farewell to the Macy’s building — their unconventional classroom for five years — as they packed up after the original school shut down due to PCB contamination. While the downtown location offered perks like easy access to Church Street eats and city vibes, it also came with major downsides: no gyms, locker rooms, or windows — a glaring issue for one freshman. The community celebrated with a parade and City Hall Park gathering, as students reflected on their unique, gritty, and ultimately formative experience. Seniors head to graduation at the brand-new school this morning, while the rest start fresh in a modern facility — ending an era with gratitude and excitement for what’s next.
