Burncoat High School
Since 2006 Burncoat High School has competed in the FIRST Robotics Competition. The team is known as the Green Reapers and is sponsored by Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Boston Scientific. The team name is derived from the name for the gym - the Green Graveyard. Over the years the team has won the Rhode Island District Event in 2015 and the Chairman's Award at the Southern New Hampshire District Event in 2017 and 2019. The team has competed in the world championships three times in 2010, 2013, and 2014. Burncoat High School has varsity sports including baseball, basketball, crew, cross country, field hockey, football, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track, volleyball and wrestling. The Burncoat football team won the Central Mass Super Bowl championship in 2004 against St. Josephs's. Quinsigamond Community College has partnered with Burncoat High School for its automotive program. QCC has access to classroom, automotive shop, parking and storage space at Burncoat at the end of the high school day. In exchange, the college will pay the high school $15,687 annually, provide two to three seats each year for Burncoat graduates to enroll in the program and allow up to two high school students to participate as a dual enrollment program (in which high school students take college courses and earn credit in both schools). Quinsigamond will also provide upgraded equipment and tools that the high school can use during the day. The program does not disrupt Burncoat's existing automotive program. The partnership with Burncoat is the first step in creating a Center for Advanced Transportation Technology in Worcester. At Burncoat High School, all students will experience a rigor based curriculum taught through instructional strategies meant to improve reading comprehension as measured by MAP, MCAS, PSAT, SAT, MEPA and AP scores as well as other formative assessments.
