History

Brookline High School was founded in the Spring of 1843. Instruction began on August 17, 1843, on the lower floor of the Town Hall on Walnut Street described by a former student as a "dismal, damp and dark room...not unlike a tomb". [2] Benjamin H. Rhodes, a Brown University graduate, was the founding Headmaster, serving until 1847. [2] Rhodes was succeed as Headmaster by Hezekia Shailer who served until 1854. John Emory Horr, a Harvard College graduate, then served as Headmaster for 33 years until 1888. [2] [3] The second Brookline High School location was a newly constructed two-story building on School Street designed by architect Joseph L. Richard that opened on November 3, 1856. [2] The third and present location of Brookline High School was Shailer Hall a new three and a half story brick structure with a pitched roof designed by architects Andrews, Jaques and Rantoul which opened in Fall, 1895. [4] The Manual Arts building was built at a cost of $100,000 on Tappan Street, and opened in September, 1903. The ninth grade moved from the School of Practical Arts in the elementary schools to the high school in September 1921. An addition to the main building was finished at that time to increase the capacity to 1500 students. The main building was expanded and remodeled in 1965 with a budget of $1.5 million. [5]

The school has Symbolic Panels made by the sculptor John A. Wilson. [6] In May 2018, Brookline voters supported a debt exclusion override to fund the expansion and renovation of Brookline High School. This building project included the construction of a new building at the 111 Cypress Street site, a new Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) building to replace the building at the corner of Tappan and Greenough Streets, renovations to the 3rd floor of the main building and the Tappan gymnasium, as well as improvements to Cypress Field. [7] In early 2022, Brookline High School opened a new building on 22 Tappan Street, designed primarily to house freshmen. [8]

[9] In addition, Boston Magazine has frequently ranked Brookline High School as one of the best high schools in Massachusetts for academic performance; in 2008, it was ranked top in the state.

In 2020–21, 435 students took 797 AP exams, and 91.9% of students scored “3” or above on these exams. [14] In 2019, Brookline High School was ranked in the top 5% of the most challenging public high schools in America (952nd of 22,000).

[15] [16] In 2020, the 5-year graduation rate was 96.5% with 86% of students planning to attend a 4-Year private or public college. [17] [18]

[24] In 2016, the boys lightweight four won their regional championship, but fell short of a third national title, placing 5th at nationals. [25] In 2022, Brookline High School athletes finished third in the women's under-17 fours at Head of the Charles. [26] Because the crew is not recognized as a school sport in the fall, the athletes rowed under the club name of Friends of Brookline Rowing, whose members are the same as those of the high school's spring rowing team. In 2023, the boys crew team took home two bronzes at regionals in the men's under-17 fours and men's youth second fours categories. [27]

They were met with about 2,000 counter-protesters, including students and members of Brookline High School's staff and PTO, and various other groups from surrounding areas.

In November 2017, Brookline High School students coordinated a walkout concerning the racial climate present through the high school. This event occurred after the spread of student produced videos containing racial slurs. The incident made local news and sparked discussion. [36]
