Graduation Milestones in Burlington

Graduation bells rang loud this week as Burlington High School and South Burlington High School celebrated their 2026 classes — marking the end of high school and the thrilling start of what’s next. Burlington High made history with its first-ever graduation in its brand-new building, graced by Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak and Senator Bernie Sanders. Meanwhile, South Burlington High held its ceremony at Patrick Gymnasium, where Principal Patrick Burke — in custom Chuck Taylors and a student-designed gown — delivered his final speech. The school also debuted the Patrick D. Burke Award, given to senior John Francis McDougall, while Thomas Awasum and Olivia Roy delivered powerful senior messages. Huge congratulations to all the graduates, families, and teachers who made these milestones possible. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
