History
Burris Laboratory School was established in 1929 as part of Teachers College, Ball State University, and Muncie Community Schools. Burris was named after Dr. Benjamin Burris, who was Dean of Ball State’s Teachers College when Burris was built. Burris is the only school in the Burris Laboratory School Corporation. It has the entire state of Indiana as its enrollment district. Burris does not have a school board. The Ball State University Board of Trustees is the ultimate authority for school policies.
