Brazosport High School
is
located in Freeport, Texas, home to a colorful history and diverse culture. Early
settlers developed Freeport at the mouth of the Brazos River where it
meets the open Gulf waters. The red, white, and blue
“Brazosport Exporters”
celebrate this port heritage and the spirit of achievement that has
resulted in the tremendous industrial growth of the area. Serving
Freeport, Jones Creek, Oyster Creek, Quintana, and Surfside Beach,
Brazosport High School is proud of its outstanding scholastic
achievements. In May 1999, Governor George W. Bush recognized Brazosport’s
success by personally attending graduation ceremonies and presenting
diplomas to graduates. The school motto, “Education Today, Success
Tomorrow,” navigates the voyage that students, faculty, and staff sail
together. |
