We would like to give a big thank you to all of our

We appreciate you!

Burbank High School

Top Dogs

Congratulations Top Dogs!

This year we have 118 students that have
achieved a 4.0 Grade Point Average or better,

earning the right to call themselves a “Top
Dog”.These students rank in the top 18% in

the Class of 2020, which is nearly 650
students. I am so proud to call them
“Bulldogs” and I am in awe of what they have
accomplished during their high school careers.
As you can see, many of them have accepted
admissions to top colleges and universities
throughout the country. Congratulations to all
the students and their families on their
success. Best of luck on all of their future

endeavors.

Sincerely,

Dr.Thomas Crowther
