South Burlington High School (SBHS) is a public secondary school located in the municipality of South Burlington, Vermont, United States. The school colors are blue and grey and its former nickname was the "Rebels" however this is now being changed. Enrollment in 2013 was 869.
The school's Career Development Center places hundreds of SBHS students in community service settings, professional internships, job shadowing experiences, senior challenge projects and mentorships in order to create "real world" relevance for students.
The school is accredited as a public secondary school by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Students can enroll concurrently in both high school and technical programs, and approximately ten percent of students do so each year at either the Burlington Technical Center or the Center for Technology, Essex.
The school offers accelerated programs in Mathematics, Science, French, and Spanish; honors courses in English and Mathematics; and a selection of fourteen Advanced Placement ("AP") courses. AP courses include AP Biology, AP Calculus AB, AP Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, AP European History, AP French, AP Psychology, AP Spanish, and AP U.S. Government & Politics. Not all AP courses are taught every academic year. The school formerly taught AP Calculus BC.
A portion of the student body commutes to the campus because of its academic offerings. Some students have elected to commute from nearby areas in Vermont where there are no local secondary schools, such as all of Grand Isle County and portions of Franklin County. The school also gets commuters from other inner Chittenden County municipalities such as Burlington, Essex, Shelburne, and Williston.
