Burroughs School, also known as Burroughs Graded School, is a historic school located at Conway in Horry County, South Carolina.[2] It was built in three phases between 1905 and 1923. The earliest portion of the building was built as an elementary school and has three main portions of eleven bays.

About 1915 a two-story hipped classroom wing was added and in 1923 four classrooms and an auditorium was added to the complex.[3]
