Brentwood Wins District PSIA

Brentwood Christian School had its best showing ever at the District 8AA PSIA meet on Saturday, March 27, at Regents School of Austin. Vying in one of the most competitive districts in the statewide Private Schools Interscholastic Association, Brentwood outscored every other school in both the elementary and the middle school divisions and gained a total of 616 points. Totals in both divisions and overall totals are shown below:

BCS Places 2nd in TCSIT

Brentwood Christian High School placed 2nd in the Texas Christian Schools Interscholastic Tournament, scoring 396 points to Fort Worth Christian’s 408. The junior high team placed 4th with 141 points, behind Dallas Christian (186), Northland Christian (177), and Fort Worth Christian (175). The school’s one-act play, The Importance of Being Earnest, was named the Grand Champion in this year’s one-act play contest.

BCS Places Second in TAPPS State Meet

Brentwood Christian High School finished the TAPPS academic season in a strong second-place finish in division 4A, with Incarnate Word Academy of Corpus Christi topping BCS by seven points, 86 to 79, to win the championship. The state meet was held on the campus of Concordia University in Austin on Friday and Saturday, April 9 and 10.

Leading the school’s team (and earning the most points of any student at any school) was senior Matthew Gardner, who placed first in all four of his events: Science, Number Sense, Advanced Math, and Computer Science. Also earning a state first-place award was the school newspaper, Bear Facts.

Adam Cammack added to the total with two second-place finishes, in Social Studies and Computer Science. Polly Park was fourth in Number Sense and sixth in Advanced Math. The Duet Acting team of Gabe Breternitz and Caleb Kronke finished fourth, Stephen Yu finished fifth in Mathematics, and the Bear Tracks yearbook took fifth place.

Congratulations to these outstanding students, their parents, and their teachers and coaches!

Brentwood Places 2nd in State PSIA

Brentwood Christian School elementary and middle school students placed second in the state of Texas at the PSIA AA (large school) state tournament on Saturday, April 24, competing with students from 102 schools across the state.

BCS took second in the middle school division, grade 6-8, and eighth in the elementary division, grades 1-5. PSIA director Dr. Patricia Walters will be traveling to Austin in May to present the second-place middle school trophy to Brentwood Christian.

These outstanding students led BCS to this academic triumph:

Mayor Certifies BCS Fitness

Austin Mayor Lee Leffingwell honored Brentwood Christian School as a Mayor’s Fitness Council Partner on June 10 at a ceremony in the Council Chambers recognizing the school’s commitment to supporting a culture of wellness among its faculty and staff.
Leffingwell said BCS “is a role model for others because of the support you have given your employees by promoting healthy lifestyles.”
School president Marquita Moss, education vice president Libby Weed, high school librarian Tere Hager, and 4th grader Corrie Hager accepted the award on behalf of the school. “As Christian educators, we believe it is important for us to set a good example to our students in healthy living,” Mrs. Moss said told the mayor.

BCS Students Earn College Credit Through Co-Enrollment at ACC

Brentwood Christian juniors and seniors are now eligible to earn college credit while still in high school through Austin Community College’s Early Start program.

Through a co-enrollment agreement, BCS students can take up to two ACC courses per semester, earning credits that will likely transfer to whichever college or university they decide to attend when they graduate from high school.
Students who live within the ACC taxing district can take classes for free, and those who live outside the district can enroll for just $40 per class, potentially saving families hundreds of dollars in tuition and fees they would otherwise pay at a university.

Two BCS Students Named National Merit® Finalists; 4 Named Commended Scholars

Seniors Andrew Beach and Matthew Gardner became the eighth and ninth Brentwood Christian students in school history to be named as National Merit® Finalists by the National Merit® Scholarship Corporation. Beach and Gardner scored in the top 1 percent nationwide on the PSAT/NMSQT exam they took in the fall of their junior year.
