Campus[]
Brighton's campus consists of the main school building, parking lot, football field, practice field, a weight room, and a track. Additions to the school in the 2007-2008 school year gave the campus a new tennis court and another wing to the building, that includes around 7 new classrooms, a band/ choir room, and a more improved shop for the school's Agricultural Program. The main building consists of 6 main hallways, a cafeteria, an atrium, a library, a greenhouse, and a shop. The field-house is where the weights are located for use by the school's athletic teams.
Curriculum[]
Additional courses are available to Brighton students through the at Covington and Dyersburg State Community College. However, the school only has half the state average AP course participation at 5%.[2] This may stem from the fact that the school uses an unweighted GPA, discouraging students from taking more challenging honors, AP, and dual enrollment classes.
