The newly completed state-of-the-art classroom building is already opening doors to exploration and discovery!

With $9.6 billion in projects underway across Los Angeles Unified, we’re continuing to upgrade and modernize schools to ensure every student is ready for the world.

Today we celebrate progress on the $277 million comprehensive modernization project transforming John Burroughs Middle School.

This investment reflects our community’s commitment to students — creating modern, inspiring spaces where curiosity thrives and learning comes to life.

Moments like this remind us why every connection matters, and how early experiences can travel with students as they grow and thrive in a new school community. #InspiringGreatness

Colin, a former student from Miami-Dade County Public Schools, joined JBMS this summer—and it was wonderful to see him again. He fondly remembered storytime in the classroom, where books opened doors to imagination and discovery.
