Ed Brune Middle
School
The Ed Brune Middle School serves students in grades 6 - 8. The middle school building is located at the beautiful
Big Springs Ranch for Children near Leakey, Texas, on the banks of
the Frio River. The School houses a
computer lab, a well equipped home economics room, and eight large
classrooms. The attractive two-story library offers availability to
a variety of literature, research, and periodical resources as well
as comfortable study areas. The vocational shop complex is well
equipped to teach students woodwork, metalwork and auto mechanics.
The barn and equestrian center support a variety of agricultural
classes as well as training in horsemanship. Big Springs Ranch
is a working cattle ranch. The Ed Brune Sports Center is the home of the Hawks
-- the school
basketball team. The gym includes a weight room and a cardiovascular room for
physical education.
Class
sizes have been designed to stay small, most under 10
students, so that each student can receive individual assessment and
an education plan taught by highly qualified teachers certified by the
State. Consulting psychologists and clinical professionals provide
insight to the special education teachers to assist in understanding
the emotional and learning problems that a student may be
experiencing.
Brune Middle School is monitored by the Texas
Education Agency and provides all academic requirements to prepare
the middles school students for public
high school. The vision of the education program is to provide
accelerated learning experiences for each student so that they have
the best opportunity possible for future success in career, family,
citizenship, and college education. This is accomplished by
combining highly qualified instructors, optimal physical resources,
and a deep commitment for each student to succeed.
