History

Braden River High School was originally scheduled to open for the 2004–2005 school year but was delayed until the next school year. [2] In February 2005, parents and future students voted to choose the mascot and school colors, and settled on a Pirate and maroon, black, and silver. [3] Braden River opened its doors in August 2005 and welcomed 9th and 10th graders. For each of the following two years, a class was added, and BRHS graduated its first class in June 2008. [4] 10 additional classrooms were added with an ability to accommodate 250 additional students. [5] In the summer of 2020, the previous running track was replaced with a rubber one and in March 2021 the school hosted its first ever track and field meet. [6]

Academics

Braden River High School currently has 15 career and technical education teachers, 11 English teachers, 10 math teachers, 10 social studies teachers, 9 science teachers, 7 exceptional student education (for students with disabilities) teachers, 4 physical education teachers, 4 visual and performing arts teachers, 3 reading teachers, 3 foreign language teachers, 1 driver's education teacher, and 1 ESOL teacher. The school also employs several paraprofessionals. [7] The school day is divided into seven periods and, as required by the state, the school follows the Sunshine State Standards. [8] [9] Because of state-wide school closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the school's grade was not calculated for the 2019–2020 school year by the Florida Department of Education. [10] Additionally, because of the Florida Department of Education Emergency Order 2021-EO-02, in which schools could opt in, at their discretion, for school grades for the 2020–2021 school year, the school's grade was not calculated for that year as Braden River did not opt in.
