Evening Parent Workshop - High School Scheduling Overview
Welcome to Brandywine Heights High School, the Home of the Bullets.
We take great pride in the fact that we have made AYP (adequate yearly progress) consecutively for six 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.
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 2011-2012 school year.
About Us
Brandywine Heights High School houses approximately seven hundred students in grades nine through twelve. We follow a traditional schedule of eight forty-two minute periods with three thirty-minute lunches. Our curriculum encompasses many of the traditional high school courses, as well as some of the newest offerings, such as Project Lead the Way, a pre-engineering course.
Our students can choose to participate in many different vocational opportunities through the Berks Career and Technology centers. We offer most of the traditional high school sports programs as well as many other extra-curricular opportunities intended to help students develop skills in areas outside the classroom.
Our staff of highly qualified teachers offers instruction in many different settings, including 5 computer labs.
