On April 25, 1994, the largest high school arson ever in the United States was started and resulted in over 15 million dollars in damages (the same arsonist also started fires at Edina High School and Minnetonka High School) . During the restoration, high school students studied at nearby Nicollet Junior High and Sky Oaks Elementary Schools. In 1998, the separate Senior Campus of Burnsville High School was opened to handle increased enrollment. Around the time of the fire, the school's mascot was changed from the Braves to the Blaze due to concerns about political correctness and the mascot's meaning to the Native American communities in the area. The name "Blaze" was thought of because of the word "Burnsville" in the school name, and had nothing to do with the fire as it was merely a coincidence. The Braves icon is still widely accepted, and many students still have Brave apparel, however the first mascot of Burnsville High School was the Bulldogs.

In 1997, District 191 bought the Diamondhead Mall and converted the top level into the Senior Campus. A year later, in 1998, it was opened for use. Students can drive or take a shuttle bus to move from one campus to the other. Many classes available only to 12th grade students are offered at the Senior Campus; including many English, math and social studies classes. Most seniors at Burnsville High School spend half their day at this separate campus. The time needed to travel from one campus to the other is only about 10-15 minutes but many students structure their schedule to consolidate their lunch and travel time.

In 2006 the Beautification Committee, a group of volunteer parents, raised $50,000 dollars from donations and proceeds from 50th anniversary blanket sales to purchase an electronic greeting sign, replacing an old stone one, as part of the school's 50th anniversary. Burnsville was one of the last to not have an electronic sign, as Lakeville, Bloomington, and Eagan already did. This group has also volunteered their time, energy, and resources to help upkeep the gardens and grounds of the school. There was some controversy among students and community members over the cost of the sign, asking if people would raise such money for books, new computers, or technology education equipment. The money for the sign, however, was raised by local businesses and private donors, and not taken from the school's budget.
