Welcome to Biology 1-2, Honors Biology 1-2, or AP Environmental Science with Mr. Bursch
Welcome to the 2018-2019 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!
