Our School History

The first Killen school was built in 1908 on what is now Jones Avenue and was moved to the present site of Brooks Elementary School in 1935.

The tradition of Brooks High School began with the 1968-1969 school year. At the beginning of that first school year, Brooks had an enrollment of 325 students in grades seven through ten. The school has grown to its current size of 780 students in grades seven through twelve. The tradition remains the same. Academic excellence, the desire to win, and the pride in our school and community has endured the test of time.

Brooks BBSST

Brooks High School's Building Based Support Team (BBSST) is  a school-based problem-solving group. Team members discuss issues related to specific needs of teachers and students and offer teachers assistance in resolving problems. The team is composed of regular education teachers, administrators, counselors and other individuals as needed including special education teachers.

The team meets on a regular basis to provide immediate aid through the BBSST plan for students in general education who are struggling academically and/or behaviorally. The BBSST plan provides intervention strategies that are implemented in a six-week plan within the general education classroom. After the plan is implemented, it is evaluated for its effectiveness and suggestions are made for future recommendations.

General education teachers may refer students to the BBSST by submitting the required documentation to the BBSST Chairperson. Any parent who has a child who is struggling academically and/or behaviorally at school, may also request the general education teacher to refer his/her child to BBSST.

For more information regarding Brooks High School's BBSST, please contact John Soria, Assistant Principal and Chairperson of BBSST. You may also speak with one of our counselors, Dennis Hargett or Betty Fannin.
