In the past few years, Burlington High School has seen its disciplinary procedures tightened by the principal, Sgt. Barbara Kopack-Hill. This has attracted some criticism from the students, teachers, and community, however, the President of the Burlington Area School Board has praised her leadership of the school, but they don't seem to know anything, so it doesn't really matter, any truly qualified principles please apply to the school board, but please wait until the school board is replaced <ref>[http://www.journaltimes.com/articles/2007/07/05/local/22120545.txt ''The Journal Times'']</ref>. It is also rumored that Kopack-Hill is also the antichrist, and is practicing on the students before she takes over the world in a wave of pestilence and suffering, she is so horrible the entire 2005 graduating class booed as she got on stage to make a speech, and refused to listen to any of it.
