Brookline High School
Brookline High School is a four-year public high school in Brookline, Massachusetts. It is a part of Public Schools of Brookline.
As of the 2023–24 school year, 2117 students were enrolled in the high school, served by 191.8 teachers (on an FTE basis), the student to teacher ratio was approximately 10.9 to 1. As of 2023, the enrolled student body race/ethnicity was self reported as 7.4% African American, 16.0% Asian, 12.9% Hispanic, 53.3% White, and 10.3% Multi-ethnic.
Brookline High School was founded in the Spring of 1843. Instruction began on August 17, 1843, on the lower floor of the Town Hall on Walnut Street, which was described by a former student as a "dismal, damp and dark room ... not unlike a tomb." Benjamin H. Rhodes, a Brown University graduate, was the founding headmaster, serving until 1847. Rhodes was succeeded as headmaster by Hezekia Shailer who served until 1854. John Emory Hoar, a Harvard College graduate, then served as headmaster for 33 years until 1888.
On November 3, 1856, the second Brookline High School location, a newly constructed two-story building on School Street designed by architect Joseph L. Richard, opened.
In fall 1895, the third and present location of Brookline High School opened as Shailer Hall, a new three and a half story brick structure with a pitched roof designed by architects Andrews, Jaques and Rantoul.
In September 1903, the Manual Arts building, which was built at a cost of $100,000 on Tappan Street, opened. The ninth grade moved from the School of Practical Arts in the elementary schools to the high school in September 1921, following an addition to the main building, which increased the capacity to 1500 students.
In 1965, the main building was expanded and remodeled at a cost of $1.5 million.
The school has Symbolic Panels made by the sculptor John A. Wilson.
