i graduated from Brashear in 2009, and i loved every day there. The teachers not only treated you like they cared but like equals. Also the counselors and administration were the best, they really listened to you and understand your problems. Its not as bad as you think, it was like a introduction to real life, that private schools lack. Shoutouts to Ms. Murray, Ms. Salinski, Ms. Concannon Ms. Eady and Mrs. Wilson!

I am a gaduate from Brashear High School and personally loved every minute i was in the building. I am not the type of person that wants to go to school but i felt comfortable in the building. The teachers treat you like they actually care to help. Yes there were many fights and plenty of drama, but show me a high school that doesn't have that. You have 13 - 19 year olds coming together with extremely different personalities and hobbies. Like i said before I am a 2009 graduate and I loved every day of my four years being a Brashear High School student.

My child attends Brashear and I truly wouldn't wish this on anyone. I would love to move so that we were in another school district. What you don't hear about on the news are the number of fights that occur each day. I do not believe Brashear to be a safe school.
