Brookings Bobcats

Our school

BrookingsHigh School

Grades 9–12, Brookings School District, eastern South Dakota.


Academics

Room to go deep or go wide

BHS runs a full core curriculum alongside Advanced Placement and dual-credit coursework, so students can start college credit before they graduate. On the other side of the building, career and technical education covers welding, construction, automotive, agriculture, health careers, business and computer science.

Both paths are treated as real paths. A student who leaves here with a welding certification and a student who leaves with a semester of college calculus have both used the school the way it was meant to be used.

Class schedule

Students carry a standard course load with an advisory period built into the week. Advisory is where scheduling, credit checks and post-secondary planning actually happen, so it's worth showing up to.
