Lake Braddock Secondary School (LBSS) in Burke, Virginia, United States, administered by Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), is one of three 7-12 secondary schools in Fairfax County. The other two are Hayfield SS and Robinson SS. Lake Braddock opened in 1973. Its mascot is a bruin, and the school colors are purple and gold.

History

When opened in 1973, adjacent to the namesake reservoir, Lake Braddock drew its students from nearby Robinson Secondary School to the west and West Springfield High School to the south. At first, Lake Braddock was built without walls in most of its educational areas, as it was believed by the administrators of the era that students would learn better in an open environment. When school officials realized a school without walls was distracting to teenage students, temporary walls were installed around many classrooms in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This resulted in significant climate control problems throughout the building, most of which were left unfixed until the school was renovated. ^{[2] [3] [4] [ citation needed ]}

Besides the "open classroom" approach, Lake Braddock, when it opened, also employed the "Forecast Five" approach, which was a "school within a school", or teams, of 150 students assigned to five teachers (math, English, science, social studies, special ed). On field trips, all 150 would go. These teams were later given names and colors. ^[5]

Academics and statistics

Lake Braddock Secondary School is a fully accredited secondary school based on standardized testing in Virginia. The average SAT score of a LBSS 12th grader in the 2012–2013 school year was 1674 out of 2400. ^[6]

The girls' team won the state title in 2009 and the boys' team received 4th place in the state.

They are also the only team in Virginia to win two back-to-back AAA state championships, in 2006 and 2007. In 2023, the girls' varsity team won the Patriot District title and Occoquan Region title, finishing the season 15-5. The boys' soccer team has won the state championship several times,^{[ specify ]} including a 5-0 victory over Hylton High in 1988 and other titles in 1982, 1989, and 1995.

Football

The Bruins have a long-standing tradition of winning football tournaments since 1973. They won district championships in 1992, 1995, 1996, 2001, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018. The team has been to the Virginia State playoffs as regional champions in 1995, 2001, 2009, and 2010, and went to the state semis in 2023 and the finals in 2009.

In the 2007 season, the Bruins went on a seven-game winning streak after their first-week loss to Robinson. Their only other loss came to Northern Region runner-up West Springfield. The Bruins went 8-3 in the regular season in 2007 and made the playoffs for the first time since 2000. In 2009 the Bruins were the Patriot District and the Northern Region Champions and went 8-2 in the regular seasons, led by future Fordham QB and Virginia State Player of the Year Michael Nebrich. They made it to the playoffs, where they managed to beat Fairfax, defeat Robinson, redeem themselves against Woodson, and win a thrilling overtime game against Battlefield. They continued to the State Championship and were defeated by the Thomas Dale Knights, 35-21. In the first round of 2010 Division 6 playoff games, Lake Braddock easily defeated Langley, 34-10. In the second round of the 2010 Division 6 playoff games, after a stunning 17-3 first-half deficit, the Bruins overcame arch-rival Robinson with a 24-23 victory on their road to another Northern Region Championship Game, led by Michael Nebrich. Lake Braddock then advanced to the state semi-final after a 56-18 win over Chantilly High School. In an exciting rematch of the 2009 state semi-final playoff game, the Battlefield Bobcats, who had been defeated 27-24 in overtime by the Bruins the previous year, hung on to win a close 35-27 victory and advanced to win the state title. In the fall 2011 season, Lake Braddock had even wins and four losses and won another district title.

Baseball

The Lake Braddock baseball program has won 15 district championships (6 under head coach Dan Griel, 7 under head coach Jody Rutherford, 1 under head coach John Thomas, and 1 under head coach Johann Tiamson) and 10 regional championships (4 under Dan Griel, 3 under Jody Rutherford, 2 under John Thomas, and 1 under Johann Tiamson).

In 2019, the first year under head coach John Thomas, the Bruins won both the regional title and the state title, as well as matching the 26–3, school best, season record. This was the first state championship since 2012 and 2nd in school history.

Tennis

Lake Braddock tennis teams have achieved much success in recent years, becoming a perennial contender in the post-season tournaments. The boys' team holds the Patriot District titles from 2008 to 2013, and continued that streak in 2014, when the name was changed to the Patriot Conference. In 2014, the team won the 6A Region tournament, the first boys' tennis regional title for the school. ^[10] The team had state appearances in 2010 and 2014, losing in the state semi-finals in 2010 to Deep Run HS, and winning the State tournament in 2014 over Langley High School, which was the first boys' tennis state title for Lake Braddock. Lake Braddock's website shows that the girls' tennis team won 48 of its 59 matches from 2015-2018.

The choirs have won many awards, including winning several in Nashville in 2006.^{[ citation needed ]} In 2007, the choir performed in New York City near the site of the former World Trade Center buildings. The choirs also have turned out several highly successful singers, including a quarter-finalist for American Idol, and several performers in musical theater. Every year the Lake Braddock Chorus and the Lake Braddock Theatre programs come together and produce a musical. The musical theatre has been around since 1975 and has produced shows such as Guys and Dolls; Thoroughly Modern Millie; Annie; Les Misérables; Cinderella; Annie, Get Your Gun; Hairspray; Beauty and the Beast. Rehearsals occur in the spring when the show airs to the public.

Lake Braddock student media

The Bear Facts

The Bear Facts is Lake Braddock's student news periodical with a circulation of about 3000 students and community members. It is student-run under the guidance of an adviser. Content decisions are governed by staff writers, editors, and any other students involved.

The Bear Facts is a member of the Virginia High School League, the National Scholastic Press Association, and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. ^[23]

Controversy

In 2007, The Bear Facts had an advisory change over issues published in March 2007. Controversy arose on articles published on "homosexuality, trans sexuality and review of a documentary about bestiality," as well as its March 30 issue, which had carried a story on Post Secret, a website that posts anonymous contributors' secrets displayed on homemade postcards. ^[24] The school released a statement that the dismissal was for "basic journalism" errors.

The Lair

The Lair is Lake Braddock's student-run yearbook, under the guidance of a faculty adviser. All design, writing, and editing is done entirely by students. One 300-page book and spring supplemental insert, printed by Herff Jones, are produced by a staff of about 70 each school year.

The 2015 book, Live Your Moment, was awarded a Columbia Scholastic Press Association Silver Crown and was a nominee for the National Scholastic Press Association Pacemaker Award. It is one of only 37 books in the country to achieve this feat. In 2011, the Lake Braddock Middle School started to produce their own book, the Ursa, instead of being a small portion of the high school book.

The Morning Bru

The Morning Bru is Lake Braddock's morning announcement show produced by the school's broadcast journalism class.

Renovations

The school finished a three-year renovation in the summer of 2007, beginning right after school ended in June 2004. The renovations cost taxpayers around $72 million - a record for Fairfax County Public Schools. ^[37] Fifty-two classroom trailers were installed on campus to accommodate the construction. Other than expanding the school and refurbishing the building, two main goals of the project were to repair an overhaul of the ventilation system and enclose classrooms with permanent walls. Samaha Associates, P.C. were the architects for Lake Braddock's renovation, which is now seen as a model^{[ citation needed ]} for other renovation projects in Fairfax County, such as the renovation of nearby W.T.
