Burke Catholic High School has been named a NYSPHSAA School of Distinction. We are proud to be one of only seven schools in Section IX to earn this prestigious honor. To receive the distinction, a school must have 100% of its varsity teams earn the Scholar-Athlete Team Award during their respective sports seasons. We extend our sincere thanks to our student-athletes, coaches, and teachers for their commitment to excellence throughout the year. Our athletes continue to embody the core values of our Burke Catholic athletic program: Commitment, Integrity, and Pride.

“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31
