It's a space where students with a passion for art can come together, share their work, learn from each other, and contribute to the artistic culture of the school.

Drone Racing Team - The Fuel

Created during the 2021-2022 school year, the BHS drone racing team, The Fuel, competes against other local schools in the Trumbull County Drone Racing League (TCDRL.) 

The drone racing team is part of Drones in School, a unique educational program that develops aeronautics, engineering, project management, entrepreneurship, graphic design, and marketing skills. Teams can have anywhere between two and six members that fill the six job roles of project manager, graphic designer, manufacturing engineer, design engineer, marketing coordinator, and drone technician. Drones in School teams design and build/improve two racing drones, create a team display, portfolio, and marketing video. Students on the BHS team have the luxury of utilizing equipment and materials in the district's MakerSpace to create their needed materials. Students learn project management fundamentals and use best practices to self regulate their team. Over the course of the season, students will develop valuable project management skills that are transferable to any career field.

In addition to locally hosted face-to-face race events, The Fuel participates in monthly virtual races where they can record head-to-head race results through an online portal. In 2023, the team's online racing results qualified them for the National Competition held in Denver, Colorado. While there, they competed among 12 high school teams from across the country in five events: Capture the Flag, Head-to-Head, Design and Engineering, Video Presentation and Portfolio & Display. The team placed fifth in all events, with the exception of video presentation where they placed fourth.

Future Teachers of America (FTA)

The purpose of the Future Teachers of America (FTA) at Brookfield High School is to encourage high school students who are, or may be, interested in teaching as a career. Two visitation days are planned each year, along with other volunteer opportunities. Volunteer opportunities may include helping with classroom parties, volunteering at the book fair, reading with younger students, and any other situation that needs volunteers.

Membership is open to all juniors and seniors who have a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and who complete that application process.  Applications will be distributed and accepted at the beginning of each school year.  Listen to announcements for more information.

Interact Club

Interact clubs bring together young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self.

Members have an opportunity to connect with community leaders to:
  • Take action to make a difference in your school and community
  • Discover new cultures and promote international understanding
  • Become a leader in your school and community
  • Have fun and make new friends from around the world
Interact clubs organize at least two projects every year, one that helps their school or community and one that promotes international understanding. Rotary club sponsors mentor and guide Interactors as they carry out projects and develop leadership skills.

National Honor Society

Membership selection into the National Honor Society is based on a student’s scholarship, service, leadership and character. Each of these areas is examined as part of the selection process. To be eligible for membership the candidates must be members of the junior or senior classes and the candidates must have been in attendance at the school for one semester.

Candidates must have a cumulative scholastic grade point average of a 3.25 based upon five (5) semesters for junior students and seven (7) semesters for seniors. The candidates should have a passing grade in physical education and candidates are encouraged to take more than the minimal number of required courses. Student records may be consulted.

The selection of members will be based upon faculty recommendations and the majority vote of the faculty council.
Candidates will also be evaluated on the basis of service, leadership and character. Service is based upon a student’s current, active participation in both school and community activities. School activities include participation in clubs and/or sports. Community activities would encompass organizations such as Youth Court, Scouting, church groups and/or other civic organizations.

Leadership is assessed in two ways. The first deals with the leadership roles to which you have been elected since 9th grade. The second is more subjective as it deals with how others perceive you as a leader. It examines whether you are seen by your teachers / coaches / advisors as a positive leader in classes or other activities.

Character is the least concrete category and probably the most difficult to evaluate. Evaluation of character cannot be based on hearsay but must be based on observation or documentation. Honesty and trustworthiness as perceived by others as well as adherence to rules are necessary qualities.

Prep Bowl

Prep Bowl is an academic competition that engages students in various grade levels in a contest to answer questions from all areas of study. Students from Trumbull County public schools participate in this competition which is usually held in January or February.

Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD)

“Students Against Destructive Decisions” is a national non-profit dedicated to the safety and wellness of all students. Using 40 years of expertise to facilitate educational and engaging programming, SADD operates through school and community chapters dedicated to advocating healthy decision-making.

SADD was founded on the simple philosophy that young people, empowered to help each other, are the most effective force in prevention.

S.M.A.S.H. Club

The Ohio State Highway Patrol in partnership with 4-H and Safe Communities, conduct the Students Making A Safer Highway (S.M.A.S.H.) program. Every school in Trumbull County has SMASH representatives who meet once a month to learn more about the four pillars of car crashes (drinking and driving, not wearing seatbelts, distracted driving, speeding) and how to bring positive messaging back to their schools to encourage safe driving habits. 

Members of the BHS SMASH Club will work in collaboration with the district's School Resource Officer to prepare a winter and spring program emphasizing the four pillars of driving safety to their fellow classmates. They may also conduct small activities throughout the year to remind their peers about the importance of safe driving.

Spanish Club

The Spanish Club is open to any student who enjoys learning about customs, traditions, and cultures of Spanish speaking countries. Activities may include crafts, cooking, movies, and field trips while promoting cultural diversity.
