Brazoswood High School has been honored as a Jostens Renaissance School of Distinction, recognizing its outstanding efforts in cultivating a positive school climate and culture. This prestigious designation is part of Jostens' initiative to celebrate schools that effectively implement the Renaissance formula: RESPECT + RECOGNIZE + REWARD + REINFORCE + RELATIONSHIPS = RESULTS.
Tate Currier, Brazoswood's Student Body President, reflected on the impact of the Renaissance program: “Our mission with Renaissance has been to build a stronger culture and increase positivity throughout our campus. Implementing this program has completely changed the overall vibe and feel of our school and seeing that change makes all of our hard work worth it.”
Brazoswood is one of 84 schools across North America to earn this distinction in 2024. To reach this level, schools implemented strategies in eight or more separate areas, and also described and documented their successes through a rigorous application process. Schools can earn recognition at three levels—Silver, Gold, and Platinum—with Platinum being the highest honor. Brazoswood's accomplishments have earned them this coveted designation.
"Jostens is honored to recognize our Renaissance Schools of Distinction," said Sara Sausker, Director of Jostens Renaissance Education. “The passion and dedication of the educators and student leaders at these schools are a driving force in building a culture of achievement, pride, and belonging. Each of these schools have demonstrated measurable results in the areas of their own focus, often educator morale or academic achievement. At the same time, they create a culture where every student belongs, not just attends. These schools truly create an exceptional environment for both staff and students.”
