Welcome!

Welcome to Brandywine Heights High School, the Home of the Bullets and the 2009 PA STATE “AA” CHAMPIONSHIP BASEBALL TEAM.  Our 615 students and 85 staff are required to attend school from August 31, 2009 through June 10, 2010.  School hours are from 7:34 am to 2:10 pm. 

We take great pride in the fact that we have made AYP (adequate yearly progress) consecutively for five years.  Numerous Advanced Placement and Honors courses are offered in our curriculum.  Additionally our students participate in a Dual Enrollment Program in conjunction with Reading Area Community College and Lehigh Carbon Community College.   This program allows students to earn college credit, while at the same time being challenged by the rigorous academic programs.  Our prolific Fine Arts Department consisting of Art, Band, and Vocal Music programs have consistently brought high honors to our school.  Likewise, we have quite an accomplished athletic program for a school of our size. The Girls’ Volleyball and Softball teams, as well as the Boys’ Wrestling and Baseball teams, have participated in State playoffs over several years.  The Girls’ Softball team reached the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP game for the third time in the last five years where they were crowned Silver Medalists once again!

This year, we welcome numerous staff members to the building, especially our Principal, Mrs. Heather Piperato.  Her extensive background in administration and respect for the students is the perfect backdrop and foundation for another successful year at Brandywine. 

Brandywine Heights High School offers something for everyone.  In addition to our sports and Fine Arts programs, an array of clubs and other activities provide opportunities to enrich their high school experience.  Students are encouraged to get involved and make the most of the 2009-2010 school year.

About Us
