Des Lacs-Burlington High School


Des Lacs-Burlington High School is the public high school in Des Lacs, North Dakota that serves students in Burlington as well as Des Lacs. It is part of the United Public School District 7 and was formed from a merger between both of the towns school districts in the late 1960s. Des Lacs-Burlington High School students attend grades K-6 at Burlington-Des Lacs Elementary School in Burlington, and grades 7–12 at DLBHS.

History

The school was formed by a merger of Des Lacs and Burlington High Schools in 1965. Originally, students in grades 7 and 8 attended DLBHS; this changed in 2000 with the addition of a junior high wing at BDLE. In 2018 due to the passage of an education referendum for the 2018 election, construction started on the largest additions to the school since '60s, with a new gymnasium, cafeteria, junior high wing, and more, being added to the building. Construction is expected to be complete in time for the 2019 school year. The former junior high wing at BDLE will be converted into a Kindergarten and office space wing, and all students will once again attend junior high at DLBHS.
