The first class graduated 356 students in May 1971. The alma mater, written especially for this school, was not completed until just before graduation. When it was played at the ceremony in May 1971, the graduating seniors were hearing it for the first time and therefore could not sing their alma mater.

Approximately 2,500 students attend Brazoswood High School. More than eighty percent of them participate in one or more of the clubs, organizations, and sports. [2]
