Brighton High School is a phased on-site school replacement that offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valley. Designed for the district’s curriculum, flexible and adaptable spaces provide opportunities for multidisciplinary student group collaboration, key in enhancing critical thinking, creativity, and overall student experience. The school is organized along a central corridor that connects learning communities with amenities across campus, creating a comprehensive educational experience.
The use of color, natural light, and pattern inside the school strengthens wayfinding while creating comfortable and inviting spaces. Each level is branded with ideas that reference nature: trails, peaks, and waterways. Innovative spaces include an enhanced social commons, CTE makerspaces, performing arts suite, and a media commons with multipurpose capacity. The athletic complex features include an arena-style main gymnasium, indoor turf fieldhouse, and outdoor rally plaza.
With over 50 years of history, the school has its culture and tradition embedded in the local community. As a next-generation learning facility, Brighton High School provides an educational environment that honors the school’s legacy of excellence and academic success.
