Phillip and Sala Burton Academic High School is an American secondary school in San Francisco, California. The founding of the school is a result of a consent decree ruling in 1984 between the City of San Francisco and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. [3] First established in the Silver Terrace neighborhood, the current campus is located in Visitacion Valley at 400 Mansell Avenue, on the former site of Woodrow Wilson High School. [4]

The school is named after former U.S. Representative Phillip Burton and his wife Sala Burton. In January of 2007, Leadership High School moved into most of the first floor classrooms of the school building, with Burton occupying the second and third floors.
