History
Miss Burke's first location in 1908 was at Steiner and Pacific Streets in Pacific Heights; it quickly relocated to a house at 2310 Broderick Street. In 1918 the growing school moved to a new building designed by architect Julia Morgan (a friend of Katherine Burke) and located at 3065 Jackson Street. The school began acquiring property in Sea Cliff in 1929, and eventually moved its lower school there. The high school remained in the Broderick Street building until 1975, when Burke's high school closed and the building was acquired by San Francisco University High School.
