At Brackenridge High School, recipient of four distinctions from TEA, we believe that all students deserve a high-quality education in a positive learning environment that is rich in a 100 year tradition of excellence. We prepare students for college and real-world professional experiences. Students learn from highly-qualified, caring professionals and master teachers who are dedicated to helping students achieve their full potential. Our students explore careers in animation, printing, graphic design and audio-video production. Early College students work for an associate’s degree through St. Philip’s College engaging in a high school and college experience all at once. Our Dual Language Academy provides students the opportunity to be Bi-literate, Bilingual, Bi-cultural – all at Brackenridge.
