Broadmoor High School was founded in 1960 and resides on a 30-acre campus centrally located in the historic Broadmoor Neighborhood [2] of south Baton Rouge. BHS offers an array of traditional and honors level courses, including several AP courses and College Dual Enrollment opportunities with Baton Rouge area colleges (BRCC, SU, LSU) for eligible upperclassmen in good academic standing. The school traditionally primarily serves students in the Broadmoor and Sherwood Forest subdivisions and within an eight-mile radius of the school.

The school originally served grades 7-11, with its first graduating class in 1962.

Broadmoor High School is home of the annual well-attended and highly publicized Broadmoor Arts & Crafts Festival held on campus every mid-November. At this event, people from across the country come to sell and buy various arts and foods. [3] There are several venues facilitated by student organizations to raise funds for them. Overall, this event is a significant source of revenue for the school.

The most notable of the many student organizations on campus is the John Lay Chapter of the National Honor Society, the National Beta Club, the Student Government Association (SGA), the Presidents' Round Table, Denims-N-Diamonds (Choir), Broadmoor Band of Pride, Broadmoor Blade (School Newspaper), Buccaneer Log (Yearbook), FFA, and Broadmoor Young Life.

All students are required to wear uniforms which include a plain white or Columbia blue polo-style shirt with khakis.
