School Song:
We are the bobcats yes siree.  We'll take our place in history.  Red and Gold will show you the way.  Giving mankind a new dawn and day.  Love one another is our theme.  Showing all others is our dream.  Students and teachers at John Burroughs School.  Send a warm welcome to all of you.
