Potential Change of Venue
In the case of a poor weather forecast for Friday evening, the graduation ceremony will be held at Riley Rink at Hunter Park. This change will be posted on the school's website: burrburton.org, Facebook page, Twitter, OnCampus News, and an alert will be sent to all current email, phone, and cell phone accounts via BBA's notification system. You may also call 802-362-1775, press 1.

Take Route 7A North out of Manchester. The entrance drive to the rink is one mile from the intersection of Route 11/30 and 7A in Manchester Center on the left.
Final High School Transcripts

To receive credit for Dual Enrollment courses contact the sponsoring college registrar and ask that they send an official transcript directly to your college.
