Briggs High School

Briggs is a really good school.... I graduated from Briggs in 2007 and the teachers and administration there really cared about academics...and where the students were going after they finished school.... i was very pleased in attending Briggs and will continue to send my children there also!!!

As a former student, who graduated in 2005, I can say that Briggs was a good place to get an education, much better than their rivals at West. As with all schools, there's always that one teacher that all students hate, and Briggs was no different, but the better majority of the teachers there actually cared about their students' goals.

Briggs is not a safe school teachers and coaches are very unfair and are very rude

I transferred my daughter to Briggs in the 10th grade from South High School. We are also transferring our sons there this year(2007). We have been completely satisfied and happy with the teacher, staff and general atmosphere of the school. Our children are very happy there, and we do not regret for one minute the decision that we made to put them into this school.

I have a freshman in Briggs so this is my first experience with this school. I was extremely impressed with the senior mentor program!!!! My 9th grader did not have the shell shock like I had entering into a new school with so many students and all of the class changes. They showed the kids around to tier classes and offered to help at any point in tier experience as new freshman. All of the seniors were respectful and had ALOT of school spirit you could clearly see that these kids love their school and tier school loves them!!!!!

I was in the first graduating class at Briggs in 1978, I now have two children attending there. We have moved recently and my children say they will drop out of school if they can't graduate from Briggs. They have had wonderful help from Mr. Pearl and Miss. Irwin. The teaching staff has changed since I went to school there but the caring for the students and the quality of education is still at the top of the list for a school that has a lot of children attending.

I think briggs was a great school. I graduated in 2003 with a college prep diploma, and feel I would have got the same information at any other school in the Columbus area. The activities offer students great experiences and allows parents to get involved also.

My oldest daughter graduated from Briggs in 2003 and my youngest one will graduate this June. The extracurricular activities they offer are awesome. Their show choir has taken 1st place in the Music in the Parks for the last two years. Kathy Leonard has triumphed with this program. Although there have been three administrators in the school since my oldest girl started there in '99 the transition has been smooth. Parents are actively involved in various aspects of the school. The academics are challenging as they offer AP classes to students who wish to participate. Briggs High School has been an awesome experience for my girls.

I have had one son graduate and the teacher quality went up from when I was in school. Now I have a sophmore who is in the LD classes. Those teachers are the best! We have had all kinds of problems with special ed teachers through middle school, but not at briggs. They bend over backwards to meet my sons I.E.P. help him do the best that he can and give the praise he needs to build his self-confidence. My son now enjoys school and wishes for summer to be over so he can get back to school! Briggs is a great school to attend especially for anyone in special ed. Mr. Pearl is the best!
