Welcome to Bel Air High School.
A common and well-known term at Bel Air High School is "BIG RED PRIDE" and for good reason. We take pride in all of our achievements! From students to teachers, we strive for excellence with an elite mindset.
We are proud to share just some of our achievements and the programs we offer here at Bel Air High School.
Bel Air High School placed in the top 30% of all schools in Texas for overall test scores. Our math proficiency is rated at the top 20% in the state. Our school's math proficiency level is 66%, which is higher than the Texas state average of 49%!On April 20, 2019, the Bel Air High School Boys soccer team won the 5A state championship. It was the Highlanders' first-ever state championship in soccer. The Highlanders first made school history in the 2019 season by advancing to the final four for the first time. To win the state championship, the highlanders knocked off the two-time defending state champions Frisco Wakeland. The game was won by a second-half goal scored by the Highlander's Ivar Arroyo who was later named the MVP of the match.
Our programs and extracurricular activities are second to none.
