  • A Worthwhile Walk Through History

    5 out of 5 rating 02-07-2020

    Experience the legacy of one of Virginia's most celebrated, African American schools, Jackson P. Burley High School. A giant in the world of athletics and character-building of its students, Jackson P. Burley High School continues to spark the imagination of youth and awe of the aged. Jackson P. Burley High School remains an icon of African American strength and a beacon of hope to all who reminisce about the JPB Bears.
