Burney-Harris-Lyons Middle School has spent the past two days honoring our scholars with awards and ceremonies. As we close out this school year, we celebrate more than grades. We celebrate the accomplishments of our students, faculty, and staff. Friendships have been made and memories will be carried forward.
We are so proud of how far all our students have come. Wherever the next year carries you, may you embrace the new start. Dream big, work hard, and be kind. Wishing everyone a restful summer!
