When Burbank opened in September 1937, it was initially called the Steve's Gardens Jr.-Sr. High School, soon renamed for Luther Burbank, an American botanist, horticulturist, and agricultural science pioneer. Burbank was the only school in San Antonio to offer an agriculture program. The program boasted a 75-acre student farm, the largest on-campus farm in Texas. Unlike Ag programs that Focus on livestock, Burbank students were also able to grow row crops such as corn, sorghum, sunflowers, and many others.

By the turn of the 21st Century, large portions of the farm were turned over to create Sports Facilities for SAISD. After Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Saints practiced at the Burbank sports complex from 2004 to 2006. [4]
