Brookfield High School is a high school (grades 9-12) in Brookfield, Fairfield County, Connecticut. In the 2006-2007 school year the school had roughly 1000 students. This steep increase was due to one of the largest freshman classes ever, with over 300 people. Ethnically the students are approximately 97% Caucasian, .12% Black, 0.3% Asian, 2.6% Hispanic.
The school is located at 45 Longmeadow Hill Road. Recently, a new library, video production studio, and two new wings were added as the existing rooms were updated. In August of 2009, the senior parking lot was repaved. The school is no longer under continuous construction.
In the 2009-2010 school year, Brookfield High School switched to block scheduling. Eight class periods are spread over two days, termed "A" and "B" days, with four class periods in a day. Classes then meet every other day. This allows more time for instruction and activities during class and homework outside of class.
The school mascot is the Bobcat and the school colors are blue and gold. Both white and black have also been used in team uniforms.

[edit] Brookfield High School Basketball
The Brookfield High School (Connecticut) Boys Basketball team excelled greatly this past year (2008-09) at the record of 14-1, led by Coach Wayne Thrall. The starting players include Joesef Peter, Daniel Burk, Arthur Thomas, David Poole, and Ralph Reinhold. These five contributed to 98% of the teams scoring average throughout the season. However, defensively, many other players contributed such as Lance, Kumar Vyyas, Jake Louisiana, Jon Micheal, Mr. Paris, James Poste, and Chris Kelly. The Brookfield High School Athletics Department is very excited, as, for the next couple of years, many say this team has extreme potential to become the best varsity basketball team BHS would see in its short history. Therefore, Coach Thrall has been holding off-season workouts to expand each players athleticism, strength, and overall skill. This has been an extreme success and will "come in handy in the next few years". It is well known that prior varsity teams of BHS were not as successful as would be expected. As the coach put it himself, this upcoming team is the shining hope of Brookfield.
