History

The school was formed by a merger of Des Lacs and Burlington High Schools in 1965. Originally, students in grades 7 and 8 attended DLBHS; this changed in 2000 with the addition of a junior high wing at BDLE. In 2017 an education referendum approved funding for the construction of a junior high school wing at DLBHS.[4][5] The expansion included a new gymnasium and cafeteria, and was in use by April 2019.[6] The former junior high wing at BDLE was converted into a Kindergarten and office space wing.
