Burleigh Manor opened up in 1992, and I attended the middle school myself as a 7th grader! The murals started my 8th grade year, although I wasn't chosen to work on it- my skills were in athletics then. Two years later, the murals started to become paintings on wood panels hung in the 2nd story of the Media Center, wrapping around it giving the space so much color, life, and energy! The murals are anywhere from 8 x 8 feet to 7 x 11 feet with sometimes extra pieces and three-dimensional elements. Below are some of the murals that I had the privilege of leading anywhere from 20-40 8th graders in idea generation, execution, and completion.
