Brock Independent School District
Encyclopedia
Brock Independent School District is a public school district
based in the community of Brock
, Texas
(USA
).
Brock is one of the few districts in Texas that does not participate in high school football
(a rarity in a state where high-school football holds near-religious status in many communities). However, its basketball programs (boy's and girl's) have been perennial state powers, including an unusual "double-double" in 2001-2002 and 2002-2003, when both the boy's and girl's teams won consecutive titles. The feat was even more unusual in that, in February 2002, Brock was realigned upward in classification from Class A to Class AA (for the 2002-2003 season), yet playing against larger Class AA schools Brock still managed to have both teams repeat as state champions.
In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized
" by the Texas Education Agency
