Ed Brune High
School
The Ed Brune High
School (EBHS) provides high quality individualized education
for students in grades 9-12. The campus is located near
Leakey, on the beautiful Big
Springs Ranch for Children. The School Complex, on the
banks of the Frio River, includes a fully equipped science lab, a state of the art computer learning system
with video streaming for distance learning
classes, a music room, an art studio, a journalism and digital
photography center, and an attractive cafeteria providing nutritious
meals. The two story library offers
availability to a variety of literature, research, and periodical
resources as well as comfortable study areas. The vocational
shop complex is well equipped to teach woodwork,
metalwork and auto mechanics. The barn and riding arena
support a variety of agricultural classes, as well as training in
horsemanship. The Ed Brune Sports Center
is the home of the Hawks -- the school basketball team, and includes
a weight
room and a cardiovascular room for physical education.
Classes are small, most under
10 students, so that
each receives individual assessment and an education plan
taught by highly qualified teachers certified by TEA.
Consulting psychologists and clinical professionals provide insight
to the teachers to assist in understanding the
emotional and learning problems that a student may be experiencing.
EBHS is monitored by TEA and provides all academic
requirements for a public high school diploma. The EBHS
educational vision is to provide
accelerated learning experiences for each student so that they have
the best opportunity possible for future success in career, family,
citizenship, and college education. This is accomplished by
combining highly qualified instructors, optimal physical resources,
and a deep commitment for each student to succeed.
A primary goal of
the school is to help each student rise to his or her highest level
of academic potential, while identifying and overcoming any barrier
to learning and success through focused problem solving and study
techniques.
