Burt Township School is proud to announce the launch of our newly redesigned website for the 2026 school year!

This exciting update represents an important step forward in strengthening communication and engagement throughout our school community. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Apptegy for their partnership and support in helping bring this project to life alongside schools and districts throughout the Upper Peninsula.

A special round of applause goes to the Burt Township School team for embracing the transition to our new and improved communication system, an initiative championed and implemented by our Principal, Miranda McShane.

As part of this new system, each teacher will have a dedicated section within the app, providing an additional way for teachers and families to stay connected. We encourage our parents, students, alumni, and entire school community to take advantage of these new communication tools and remain engaged with everything happening at Burt Township School.

We are excited about this next chapter in communication and look forward to keeping our community better connected than ever!

Burt Township School is thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new Career and Technical Education (CTE) program this school year, made possible through our partnership with MEERA (Manufacturing and Engineering Education Reimagined for All).

This entirely grant funded program brings real, hands-on learning into our classrooms, giving students the chance to explore manufacturing and engineering skills. From working with 3D printers and CNC machines to learning precision tools like calipers, students will do more than watch and listen. They'll build, design, code, and create, discovering firsthand how the things around them are made.

Why does this matter? Because students can only pursue the paths they know exist. By opening the door to manufacturing and engineering careers now, we're helping our young people see new possibilities for their futures and make more informed decisions about where they want to go. Whether a student dreams of engineering, design, or a hands-on career they haven't even discovered, this program helps them see themselves in that future.

We're proud to bring this opportunity to the Polar Bear community and can't wait to watch our students engage, explore, and grow.

In rural communities like ours, the school is more than a building. It is a gathering place, a keeper of memories, and a promise passed from one generation to the next. The senior class photos on display, stretching all the way back to 1937, tell the story of families who worked hard for their children and refused to let this town fade.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Grand Marais Historical Society for their dedication and collaboration in preserving the Grand Marais legacy. Burt Township School is deeply grateful for this partnership and is proud to be part of this town's legacy.

As an out-of-formula district, Burt doesn't follow the state per-pupil counts. That means this institution may teach many or few, and still it will continue to do what it has always done: educate, uplift, and endure. Burt has been and will continue to be the "heart" of the Grand Marais community by helping keep young families rooted, giving children a future, and honoring the hard-working people who make up our community.

If you're a graduate, a teacher/staff member (past or present), our Historical Society would love to hear from you. Stop by the exhibit near the Pickle Barrel garden, share a memory in their guest book, and help us keep our history alive. Go Polar Bears!
