Julie Thomas, the communications coordinator for the district, noted âthe building is more than just bricks.â
âItâs the people who were part of the building, and weâre excited to give them an opportunity to come in, meet with their friends, and enjoy seeing it,â she said.
She added: âIt gives people a chance to walk around and see what they remember from their high school years.â
Many of the people walking through the building on Saturday were families â from young to old â underscoring the point the school served generations of Burlingtonâs families.
Pam Wanasek, class of 1961, toured the building with her son, John Wanasek, class of 1986. She agreed she had good memories of her time at the school.
