Baton Rouge Magnet High School
Baton Rouge Magnet High School (BRMHS or Baton Rouge High) is a public magnet school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States, founded in 1880. It is part of the East Baton Rouge Parish School System with a student body of approximately 1500 students. The current building was built in 1926,[3][4] and, as Baton Rouge High School, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The campus underwent a two-year renovation and expansion starting in 2010, resulting in the addition of two new wings to the main building.[2][4][5] This renovation was completed and the school reopened in fall 2012. Baton Rouge High is also one of the highest-ranked schools in the state, and consistently wins state-level academic competitions.[6] The school requires students to pass enrollment standards and exceed graduation standards. As a result, nearly all graduating students attend college.[7]

History
In 1903, T. H. Harris was named principal of Baton Rouge High School. Five years later, he became the state education superintendent and held that post until 1940.
The present campus was put into use in 1925 (although some sources cite 1927 or 1928 as the year the new building opened) when the main four-story building was built. Additional buildings were added and renovations made during the 1950s. By 1972, the present facilities were completed and air conditioning was installed. In the fall of 1976, the school began operating under the new Magnet School Curriculum, and the Class of 1980 became the first graduating class to attend all four full years under the Magnet Program. Numerous district and state championships have been won as is attested by the vast collection of trophies on view in the lobby. Though the major sports of football, basketball, and baseball were discontinued in 1976, the individual and life-time sports have continued a tradition of winning district and state championships. State and district rally honors have increased, as have the number of National Merit Students among the student body.[citation needed]
The main three to four story neo-Gothic brick and terra cotta building, along with a 8.5 acres (3.4 ha) portion of the campus, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 6, 1986.[2][8][9]
The 4th floor of the school used to be home to the band and orchestra, but is now closed off to the student body. Elvis Presley played on the Baton Rouge High stage with Faron Young on May 2, 1955[10][11] The school also was used in 2009 as a location for the filming of parts of the film Ticking Clock.
The school had been temporarily moved to the old Lee High School building, due to renovations being done on the 1925 campus. Students returned to the renovated campus on August 8, 2012. [12]
Distinctions and awards
The school was awarded the Blue Ribbon for Academic Excellence for the school years 1982–83 and 2003–04.[13][14] The school offers 27 Advanced Placement classes, including Science Lab, with an additional American Government course speculated for 2008–2009. It has 20 honors courses, two dual enrollment courses through Baton Rouge Community College, and three foreign languages; French I-V, Spanish I-V, Latin I-V. Greek is offered sporadically and was last offered in 2012–2013. Due to faculty shortage, since 2007 Russian is no longer available. Similarly, German is no longer available as of 2022. Having a college-preparatory Magnet program, the school employs a rigorous curriculum resulting in almost all of its graduates attending college. The 270 students graduating in 2006 were offered over $8 million in college scholarships, with almost all going on to enter college.[7]
Four graduates have also gone on to be named Rhodes Scholars after college.[15][unreliable source?]
It received a special award in 2004 from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., distinguishing it as one of five schools in the nation excelling in performing arts. It was one of two high schools to receive this award. On March 21, 2005, the school performed and displayed aspects of its arts and performances programs on one of the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stages.[16]
The school is one of the few high schools in the nation to offer two student run radio stations on campus. The original FM station, WBRH, was joined in 1993 by an AM station, KBRH.[17] They are both non-profit radio stations and are run with the financial support of the listening community. They publicly broadcast jazz on WBRH 90.3 MHz, and classic R&B and local music on KBRH 1260 kHz.[18]

Sports and athletics
Baton Rouge Magnet High athletics competes in the LHSAA. The school has an unusual athletics program in that since 1976, it has not fielded a football, basketball, or baseball team. This was a result of the school switching to the magnet program that year, changing the school's official name from Baton Rouge High School to Baton Rouge Magnet High School.
Athletic history
The school has played in the 5A classification, the highest in the LHSAA, since moving up from 4A in 1998. It has won numerous state championships in many sports. Gymnastics and track and field programs are especially strong.
In 2003, the school had a banner year for sports, winning 5 state championships: women's outdoor track, men's outdoor track, women's gymnastics, men's gymnastics, and women's cross country.
The women's swim team was state runner-up in 2005. Men's and women's coach George Newport has won the city's Coach of the Year award several times. Joanne Chien, class of 2010, won 5 individual state titles in her career, including setting a 5A record in the 100-yard backstroke in 2007.[citation needed]
The school's football team won eight state championships in 1909, 1911, 1913, 1914, 1917, 1919, 1944 (Class 2A) and 1964 (Class 3A) before being disbanded in 1976.[22][23] The team also made one unsuccessful appearance in the state title game in 1954 (Class 3A).
The school's basketball team won State Championships in 1968 (3A), 1961 (3A), 1954 (2A), 1950 (2A), 1932 (1A), 1911 (2A), 1910 (1A), 1909 (1A)[24]
The school has won the Southern Quality Ford Cup (previously Picadilly Cup), the all-sports trophy, several times[citation needed], despite not competing in football, basketball, or baseball.[23]
The cross-country program was a dominant force in the 1980s and early 1990s as the men's team won 9 consecutive state titles from 1980 to 1988. The women's program won 6 state titles and placed numerous individual state champions.
In recent times, the women's outdoor track and field program has been one of the most dominant in the state, winning state championships in 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. They were also state runners-up in 2005 and 2006.
The men's gymnastics team, as of the end of the 2010–2011 school year, under the tutelage of longtime coach Kevin Nee, has won 7 of the last 9 LHSAA state championships, including four straight from 2002 to 2005. In 2010, team Captain Chris Chu, class of 2011, won first all-around in the LHSAA state championship. The women's team has placed in the top 3 in the state for 6 of the last 9 years, with one state championship in 2003.
The men's cross country team has a two-time 5A state champion in Philipp Goettert (2006, 2007). Saul Rothschild was also a two-time state cross-country champion, in 1980 and 1981, when BRHS was classified as 3A (and the largest classification at the time was 4A).
Baton Rouge High also features a tennis team that has become more competitive in recent years. In the 2015–2016 season, Kelli Hu and Malini Bueche were runner-up at the regional and Division 1 state championships. They were also a part of the Girls Doubles All-Metro Team along with Baton Rouge High's Ashley Alfred and Sophia Akinniyi. In the 2016–2017 season, the duo of Kelli Hu and Malini Bueche won the 5A regional championships, giving Baton Rouge High its first regional tennis victory in many years. Also, singles players Shola Akinniyi, Sophia Akinniyi, and Gabriel Young made it to the regional semifinals, and Logan Bueche advanced to the finals.
The soccer team competes in district 5 of the 5A classification of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association.[25] As of 2011, the team has made the playoffs 6 of the last 7 years. In the 2010–2011 season, senior forward Naveed Asayesh scored 47 goals, placing him 3rd in the state and 2nd in 5A.
The women's soccer team (as of 2010) has advanced to the regional playoffs (round of 16) each of the last four years, including reaching the state semifinals in 2009 as an underdog #6 seed, upsetting #3 Mt. Carmel 1–0 in the quarterfinals before losing to #1 Fontainebleau in a penalty kick shootout 3 to 2.
The girls' golf team placed 3rd in the 2010 Baton Rouge Metro High School Championship.[26]
The most recent addition to the athletic roster is men's bowling, which began play in the 2005–2006 school year, the same year the LHSAA held its first state championships in the sport.
In addition, the school has an intramural sports program consisting of American flag football, basketball, and volleyball.[26]
Visual and performing arts
The school has music programs, including an award-winning choir, a jazz band and concert band, and a string orchestra.[27]
The Choral Department has been directed by Robbie Giroir, the organist at St. Joseph Cathedral, for thirty years. They host an annual candlelight Christmas Concert in downtown Baton Rouge. Giroir has taken the Festival Singers, a small vocal ensemble, to venues around the world.[27]
Choral studies
The BRMHS Department of Choral Studies offers choral singing, solo vocal literature, music theory, and the art of English handbell ringing. In 2007 the program had over seventy-five choristers.[27]
The Choral Union is a principle choral ensemble of forty auditioned choristers. They perform in the Fall and Spring Concerts held in the Chapel of St. Alban's on the LSU Campus, and the annual formal Candlelight Concert traditionally held in St. Joseph Cathedral in downtown Baton Rouge.[27]
The Choral Union and Festival Singers have also performed in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. The Festival Singers have toured the United Kingdom where solo choral performances were given at Winchester Cathedral, St. Paul's Cathedral, Ely Cathedral, and the World War II Memorial Chapel (Ely). In 2005, the Festival Singers performed a concert tour of Germany and Austria.[27] In 2009, the Festival Singers went to Spain to perform in numerous cathedrals in cities such as Sevilla, Madrid, Toledo, Escorial, and Segovia. In 2011, they performed in Prague and Budapest. In February 2013, the Festival Singers traveled to Italy, where they toured and performed in the cities of Florence, Siena, Rome, and Pompeii, with a visit to the Vatican City where they performed in the final public audience of Pope Benedict XVI[28] and sang a mass at St. Peter's Basilica. In 2015, the Festival Singers traveled to Ireland, where they toured Armagh, Downpatrick, Galway, Connemara, Bunratty, Cashel, and Dublin. The BRMHS Festival Singers travel internationally every two years and are planning to travel to the Netherlands and Belgium in 2017.
Through competitive auditions, many BRMHS choristers are chosen for All-State and All-District Honor Choirs. Under the tenure of Robbie Giroir, the Department of Choral Studies has sung over twenty major choral works by noted composers and has produced over fifteen major musical productions on the BRMHS stage.[27]
Many school Choristers have gone on to professional performing and music education careers that include Broadway and University Professors.[27]
Performing arts
The school has the only student operated AM and FM radio stations in the country. The school was honored with a "Creative Ticket in the Arts" in 2005 by the Louisiana Division of the Arts and nominated for recognition on a national level.[29][30]
In addition to the radio training program, the department offers multi-year courses in choral and instrumental music, drama, stagecraft, ballet, and television production.[30]
The drama department produces several main stage and small stage plays each year. These include a Shakespearean play and a winter production in conjunction with the dance department. The later is performed each year for audiences of local elementary school children. The dance department also produces its own recitals, and many of the dancers perform with other dance companies.[30]
The school offers instrumental courses including woodwind, jazz, and strings.[30]
Piano Department
The piano department has a lab consisting of 19 full-size instruments, including Yamaha Clavinovas, and Rolands, as well as three 64-key Wurlitzer keyboards. Advanced students present two recitals each year. Students also perform for retirement homes and community functions. All styles of music are studied.[31]
Visual arts
Visual artists at the school can take four years of art classes. Student artwork is displayed frequently at the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board office and various Baton Rouge galleries, and the department has its own show at the school each spring.[32]
In 2008, art club members are finished a full-color mural on an outside wall of the school Performing Arts building.[32] This mural no longer exists after the renovation, which left only the front part of the building intact.
Orchestra
The orchestra at Baton Rouge High, under the direction of Mr. Christopher Frazier, is also an award-winning program. They have performed in Carnegie Hall and at the Lincoln Center in New York City. The group has also participated in musical festival events in Atlanta, Memphis, and Dallas. They will travel back to Carnegie in spring 2017. The orchestra has over 100 members and also performs with the McKinley High Orchestra to form the BRM Orchestra. Placement in the orchestra of Baton Rouge Magnet High is determined by audition.
Renovation project
A large renovation and reconstruction project by the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board commenced in August 2010 and was completed in time for the start of the 2012–2013 school year. The project consisted of a complete renovation of the landmark school structure, and a demolition and reconstruction of the remaining structures.

Traditions
Spirit Day
On one of the first Fridays after school begins, the school hosts a "Spirit Day" where each class represents their school spirit by wearing green and gold. Seniors traditionally wear completely outrageous costumes, including capes, Mitres, wigs, pom-poms, and matching shirts. A Spirit Assembly is held where each class is mocked by every other class.
Fall Fair
During the week leading up to Halloween, the school has a different costume theme for each day of the week. In the past, there has been a Toga Day, a Decades Day, and a Twin/Triplets/Duos/Famous Couples Day, a Pirates Vs. Ninjas Day and a Superheroes Day.[citation needed] The theme is changed each year by the Student Government Association. The last day of Fall Fair week is always Masquerade Day, where everyone wears whatever costume they so choose. On this day, students are dismissed from class early, and go out to enjoy Fall Fair in the courtyard. School clubs are allowed to register booths, and they come up with inventive ways to raise money for their club. German Club traditionally holds a "German Disco", while the Junior Classical League has held "Gladiator Fights" with pool noodles and cardboard shields.
