Welcome to Biology 1-2, Honors Biology 1-2, or AP Environmental Science with Mr. Bursch

Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year! And for those that are new to the school, welcome to Willow Glen High!

This year will bring new challenges and stories. It will see the continuing development of the GROW Rams initiative and the expansion of agroecology and food education efforts on our campus, with Mr. Bursch's students leading the charge.

This website will be updated on a daily basis and is a place for students and parents to find brief summaries of each day's activities, homework assignments, and reminders for upcoming tests, projects, and important dates.

Parents, this can be an exciting and stressful time for you, too, especially if this is your child's first year of high school. Please do make use of this resource and don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting all of you at Back to School Night.

Stay tuned!
