Looking Ahead

At Briscoe, we believe junior high is a time for students to discover their strengths, take on new challenges, and build meaningful connections. Our teachers and staff are already hard at work preparing engaging lessons, welcoming classrooms, and opportunities for students to thrive.
Simply put, Briscoe Junior High is a special place. We are incredibly fortunate to have outstanding students, dedicated teachers, supportive families, and a community that believes in doing what is best for kids. We cannot wait to partner with you this year.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we look forward to seeing you at Sneak Peek on August 6!
