The most popular programs with our former students were Natural Sciences, Forestry and Agriculture; Liberal Arts and Sciences; and Engineering.  We feel that this report shows that Brewer High students are well prepared post-secondary studies.  The entire report can be viewed here.

This will incorporate a total of eight periods over two days (as opposed to our current seven periods daily), gives students the opportunity to earn an additional credit each year, and will allow more elective courses to be offered in addition to their core/required classes. Stay tuned for updates!
