Brighton High School Alumni Association

The BHS Alumni Association's primary mission is to provide you, the graduates of BHS with a lifelong relationship between the school, its students, faculty and staff, past and present.  It also exists to provide scholarships to worthy BHS graduates who are pursuing their post-secondary education.

Brighton High School, is located at 25 Warren Street, Brighton, Massachusetts.  The school has provided top-quality education, civic values and leadership to the community, the state and the nation since it opened it's original doors in 1841. 

The original building was located on Academy Hill Road in Brighton Center.  In 1894, the building grew too small and a new school was erected on Cambridge Street, the former William Howard Taft Middle School.  Then in 1930, the school moved to its present location atop the hill behind the Taft on Warren Street between St. Elizabeth's Hospital and the Brighton Marine Health Center (formerly the Brighton Marine Hospital). 

Our graduates have all left with vision and educational values that have been passed from generation to generation and now to the first generation of the 21st century.  They span all facets of the business and professional world; doctors, lawyers, civil servants, educators, politicians, sports figures, actors, models, military and religious leaders and yes...even an Olympic Gold Medalist and a Director of the FBI.  "We are what we are, largely in part to the time we spent at the castle". 

Brighton High also had the best automotive program in the state for many decades and the talented mechanics that were educated there have helped to keep "the rest of us running" with the pack.  Recently, Gary Rogers '70, a former "wrench" as they referred to themselves told us that he got up at 5am every day and took three buses from Charlestown to go to BHS because of its reputation of having the best teachers in the trade teaching there.  Gary recently retired after thirty sucessful years with the railroad and has even appeared on the hit TV series "American Choppers".  Stories like this echo at all the reunions we attend and the pride of being a "knight" or more recetly a "bengal" is still alive. 

Please join us in keeping the tradition and the committment alive by filling out the membership application and returning it with your dues.  The key to our success is "you", our alumni.  Your support, both financially and with your time will insure an even brighter future for our Alma Mater.
