Bonjour!  Bienvenue au site de

Madame Burgess!

This is my 21st year of teaching and my 13th year at HHS, and I am as excited as ever about teaching French!  I teach French I, II, III, and IBSL in the International Baccalaureate Programme, and I sponsor the French Club and National French Honor Society.  I hope that the 2012-2013 school year is a successful one for you!

Please explore the page list on the left for useful information for students and parents.
