Peabody-Burns Junior/Senior High School is a public secondary school in Peabody, Kansas, United States. It is the sole high school operated by Peabody–Burns USD 398 school district. It serves students of grades 7 to 12 in the communities of Peabody, Burns, Wonsevu, and nearby rural areas of Marion / Chase / Harvey / Butler Counties.[9]
The first school in Peabody was organized in 1871. The first school building, two limestone rooms, was built in 1872 on the northeast corner of Maple and 2nd.[10] The first high school classes were taught in 1879, and the first graduation class in 1881 consisted of 2 students.[11] As the student population grew, the school building was expanded. In 1883, a six room addition was erected. In 1901, a four room addition was erected, bringing the linestone school to a total of twelve rooms on two floors.[12] Before fall of 1923, all grades attended this school. It was closed after the current elementary school was built in 1974 then it was demolished.
In 1923, a two-story brick high school was built at 900 North Walnut Street for grades 9 to 12.[13][11]
In 1945, the School Reorganization Act in Kansas caused the consolidation of thousands of rural school districts in Kansas.[14]
In 1946-1947, many one-room rural schools consolidated into the Peabody school district.[15][11]
In 1953, the Brown Building was built across the street east of the 1923 high school to house a larger gymnasium, band / lunch room, and vocational agriculture rooms.[11]
In 1963, the School Unification Act in Kansas caused the further consolidatation of thousands of tiny school districts into hundreds of larger Unified School Districts.[16]
In 1965, the Burns and Summit school districts were unified with Peabody to form the Unified School District 398.[11][17][18][19] The Burns High School in Burns, Kansas was closed, as was the rural Summit school that was located between Peabody and Burns.
In 1997, the current high school was built (and attached) to the south side of the existing Brown Building at 810 North Sycamore Street. Soon afterward, the former 1923 high school across the street was demolished and converted into a football practice field. The Burns Grade School, which included a junior high, was closed in Burns, Kansas.
Currently all students in the USD 398 district attend the high school and grade school in Peabody.
The high school marching band is well known in competitions, and especially popular in regional parades. The high school is a member of T.E.E.N., a shared video teaching network, started in 1993, between five area high schools.[20]
In the 2010–2011 school year, Peabody-Burns Junior High School had an enrollment of 63 students, and Peabody-Burns High School had an enrollment of 105 students.[21]
The sports offered are Basketball, Bowling, Cross Country, Cheerleading, Football, Golf, Softball, Track, Volleyball, Wrestling. The mascot is a Warrior. All high school athletic and non-athletic competition is overseen by the Kansas State High School Activities Association. For 2010/2011 seasons, the football team competes as Class 8 Man - Division I in the Wheat State league.[22]
