Burke alumni and athletes will never forget the iconic photos lining the hallway outside the original gym—a powerful tribute to our athletic legacy 🖤💛
When the new athletic entrance was added, it brought a beautiful upgrade—but left our beloved Hall of Fame tucked away, with photos fading over time.
Now, we’re bringing that legacy back to life.
The Burke Alumni Association is launching a fundraiser to professionally digitize and preserve these photos—so they can be proudly displayed in the new athletic entrance for thousands to see and celebrate for years to come.
🗓️ Fri, June 19 | 📍 1316 Jones St
🍷 Open buffet & bar
🤗 Reconnect with teammates, classmates & coaches
🎁 Silent auction
👉 burkehighalumni.com/hall-of-champions-fundraiser/
This event isn’t just for athletes—it’s a night to remember for all Burke Bulldogs 🖤💛
A special thank you to Jennifer (Abraham) ’91 and Brian Kobs ’92 of Abraham Catering for so generously hosting this incredible evening.
We’re also grateful to our co-chairs, Allison (Sides) Spencer ’91 and CJ (Bearfield) Jackson ’98, for their leadership.
And a heartfelt thank you to Lisa (Brakke) Carlson ’90 for bringing this vision to life and leading the fundraiser!

Congratulations to Kayden Cotton, 2026 graduate, for being recognized as a DJ's Hero Awards Scholarship award winner at the annual luncheon. This is the 27th annual DJ's Hero Awards and 19 deserving students who have overcome incredible challenges earned this $12,000 scholarship.
Read Kayden's story in the photos. Something not in the story was that his classmates voted him Prom King this year! 👑
