Clear Brook High School is a secondary school located in unincorporated Harris County, Texas, United States, adjacent to the city of Friendswood.[1]. It is ranked as one of the best high schools in the nation, according to my magic 8 ball.

The school, which serves grades 9-12, is a part of the Clear Creek Independent School District. Clear Brook serves several communities, including portions of Friendswood, Houston, and unincorporated Harris County. The communities of Sterling Knoll, Bay Glen, Bay Knoll, Bay Pointe, Northfork, Heritage Park, Wedgewood, Pipers Meadow, Forest Bend, and Sageglen are served by the school. The school colors are black, red, and silver. As of 2009 the school principal is Michele Staley and the associate principal is Dr. Jennifer Morrow.

As of 2009, Clear Brook also has five assistant principals who are in charge of five different smaller learning communities: Nina Zoch, Sven Schulz, Sharon Lopez, Adrienne Miles, and Jennifer Gault.


The school fight song is "The Victors", the same fight song as the University of Michigan. Clear Brook High School also shares the same mascot as U of M: the wolverine, but the decsion to chose the wolverine as Clear Brook's mascot was actually inspired by the 1984 war film Red Dawn. The school mascot is named Big Will.[citation needed]

The school celebrated its first Texas state championship title in 1990, won by the girls' waterpolo team[2].[citation needed]

Notable school alumni include:

The inspiration for the school's mascot as well as the school's colors was the movie Red Dawn, which was popular among high school students at the time of the school's inception.[citation needed]

Clear Brook Wolverines football

History

Clear Brook first formed their football team in 1990 and competed in UIL 4A. The team reached the 4A playoffs for the first time in 1992. In 1994 they found playoff success winning the first two games but eventually losing to Jasper. They stayed in 4A through the 1997-1998 school year. The 1997 football team captured the first district championship in school history, capped by a win against rival Friendswood, who was the top ranked team in the area at the time. In 1998, they competed in district 24-5A for their first time. Brook was expected to make the transition poorly, but surprised everyone with a 9-1 regular season, with a close loss at Galveston Ball. Brook would go on to win 3 playoff games, but lose to Katy, who was eventually stripped of their win because of an ineligible player. With a 118-89-2 overall historical record in football, Clear Brook currently has a higher winning percentage than any other Clear Creek Independent School District High School. [3]

Today

Paul Lanier has been the head coach since 2007. Paul came from Clear Brook's biggest 5A rival, Clear Lake where he brought his triple option offense. In 2008 Lanier led the Wolverines to their first ever District 24-5A Championship, the 2nd district championship in school history. Though this was technically a co-district championship with Clear Lake, Clear Brook had beaten Clear Lake in the regular season, a game that was televised by Fox Sports. The team eventually lost in the 2nd round of playoffs to eventual Region 3 runner-up La Porte High School. [4]
