Burnie High School is a public, co-educational, high school, located in Cooee, a suburb of Burnie, Tasmania, Australia.
In April 2007, the old, original Burnie High School building located in Burnie itself was gutted by fire. The old school had been built in 1929 and following the fire, many of its remains had to be demolished for safety reasons. The building had been due to become the new home of the Creative Paper company and the new Burnie Visitor Centre. Instead a new building was built on the site in the years following the fire.
Burnie High School is located behind Cooee Primary School in Fidler Street Cooee. Other high schools located in the area are Parklands High School, Wynyard High School and Marist Regional College.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“Men are in the main alike, but they were made several in order that they might be various. If a low use is to be served, one man will do nearly quite as well as another; if a high one, individual excellence is to be regarded.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And every where that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go;
He followed her to school one day—
That was against the rule,
It made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.”
—Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788–1879)
