Good morning, Alumni, friends Sunday April 19, 2026. Members of the Burley varsity club and friends attend Virginia High school Hall of Fame banquet, at the Omni Hotel in Charlottesville, VA in support of the induction of Garwin DeBerry into the Hall of fame. Garwin Coach football at Charlottesville High school for 28years. Garwin started the Lacrosse team at CHS and coach it for 7 years. I might say this was a long time coming, but i looked around the room Sunday there were a lot of former athletes that should be in the Hall of fame. There are so many changes made in the system that they are miss but one day maybe Charlottesville will have a Hall of fame. Congratulation Garwin DeBerry

Alumni, Friend Good morning It has been a long time since I`ve written a post. Saturday May 20, 2023 the Burley Varsity Club held a program at Jackson P. Burley Middle School at 11:00 am we retired our school colors Kelley green and old gold. When Burley closed in 1967 our color were left at the school, when Albemarle County purchased the school and open Jack Jouett Annex in 1969 our color was given to them which was wrong. Once i found out where our school color were I wrote DR Hass a letter requesting our color return with three options and the best one was to have them retire and stored in special collected at UVA. Another great day in the history of Jackson P. Burley High School.
