This is a draft rewrite of the "History" section on the Edmund Burke School page.
History
[edit]Edmund Burke School was founded in 1968 by Roth and Mooskin, who met while teaching at another Washington private school, the Hawthorne School[1], which would close in 1982[2]. Burke first opened in a building at 2107 Wyoming Avenue NW and initially enrolled 17 students[1]. Elizabeth Ely, a teacher at Burke when it opened, left to found The Field School in 1972[3]; the two schools later became athletic rivals[4]. In 1971, Burke's growth prompted a move to 2120 Wyoming Avenue NW, and then in 1973 the school purchased 2955 Upton Street NW, which it later expanded to add a gymnasium and other facilities[1]. Mooskin and Roth retired in 1999, and David Shapiro became the head of school[5]. A new building, adjacent to and connected with the school's longtime home, opened in 2006[5]. Shapiro retired in 2011 and was succeeded by Andrew Slater, who was succeeded by Damian Jones in 2014.[5]
