In 2018, Burley's assistant principal, Andrew Wray, was named Assistant Principal of the Year by the Idaho Association of School Administrators. [6]

BHS's graduating class of 2023 had 240 graduates, hosting one of its largest graduations ever. Two-thirds of the graduating class intends to pursue higher education: 56% at a university or state college, and 10% through a trade school. [7]
