3rd Annual HBCU Fair at Viera High School Feb 7, 2024, at 6:00 pm

Since the 1800s, Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) have served a vital role in providing post-secondary educational opportunities for African Americans and have grown into prestigious institutions for students of all backgrounds and ethnicities.  Since the inaugural event in 2022, this event has continued to support the BPS community. We are committed to promoting college and career readiness and access and increasing participation in accelerated programs for underrepresented students - with a special district wide observance of Black History Month.   With the support of volunteers, local sponsorships, and community support, this event continues to be one of Brevard County’s most anticipated events.

Please click the first link to see the flyer about the event, and to register for the fair, please click the second link.

Parent Conference Night


Parent Conference Night will be held on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, from  5:00-7:00 pm. These meetings are for students who are underperforming academically or are in danger of failing.  Teachers will reach out to families to schedule appointments. Students are also encouraged to attend so they can take ownership of their academic performance and discuss strategies for improvement.


If you do not hear from a specific teacher of interest, please email that faculty member directly. Other arrangements will be made if you cannot be accommodated on Tuesday evening. Thank you for your continued support.

Socratic Seminar


Ms. Mullins' class held a seminar about Edgar Allan Poe’s poem, “Eldorado.” Students were required to delve into deep text code, analyze, and create higher-level questions for the Socratic-based questions for discussion. The goal was to analyze the meaning of "Eldorado"both figuratively and historically.
