Beginning in the 2026-27 school year, Brentwood Middle School and Brentwood High School will implement a new daily schedule. This update reflects the district’s continued commitment to advancing the goals of its strategic plan — specifically, creating innovative teaching and learning experiences and expanding opportunities for individualized learning pathways.

This new schedule follows a modified block model and was developed through a months-long, collaborative process involving teachers, counselors and administrators, with input from a variety of stakeholder groups. Its design was guided by clearly defined priorities and informed by a review of model schedules from districts across the region.

This approach allows our schools to better respond to individual student needs, strengthen connections between students and teachers, and create shared time across both buildings to support students and foster a strong sense of school community.

One key change is the shift from eight to seven academic periods. This adjustment is paired with an update to the district’s graduation requirements, approved by the Board of Education in February 2026. The revised requirements more closely align with Missouri standards and reflect those of many St. Louis County school districts.
