- History & Memorable Moments
In order to meet the growing population of students, the school was opened in December 1923, under the name of "San Mateo High School, Burlingame Branch". The school took in students from Burlingame, Hillsborough, Millbrae, and San Bruno. Initial enrollment consisted of 350 students and 30 teachers. As a branch school of San Mateo High School, extracurricular organizations were shared between the schools. There was a single band, football team, and other athletic teams with student members from both schools. Within 10 years the enrollment of the school had increased to 494 boys and 474 girls, totalling 968 pupils, a figure close to the school's original design capacity. In 1927 the school name was officially changed to Burlingame High School. Bing Crosby sent his three children from his marriage with Kathryn Grant to the school in the 1970s. In the summer of 1980, the SMUHSD board decided it must close one of the district's seven schools, due to declining enrollment. Following public hearings, the board narrowed the choice to either Crestmoor High School or Burlingame High School. After further study and discussion, the board decided to close Crestmoor in the fall of 1980 and keep Burlingame open. [1]
