It is one of six high schools operated by the Brownsville Independent School District. In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.[2]

History

Hanna High School offers the best education in Brownsville, Texas, which admittedly is not saying much considering the city has the worst school district in Texas, and arguably, the United States of America.

Athletics and Student Organizations

The Hanna Golden Eagles compete in the following sports:[3]


Hanna has a history of producing remarkable athletes. Kyle Fischer, legendary DH, just missed All Valley honors by striking out in his final at-bat of the season. Evan Frausto set state records by recording 6.5 sacks in the teams first two games. Frausto suffered a career ending injury the next game, leaving the program as one of the greatest two-game players of all time.

In his article "The Effects of A Nuclear Attack on the Rio Grande Valley", William Robert Johnston, a graduate student in physics at the University of Texas at Brownsville,[4] uses Hanna as ground zero when he posits the effects of a Russian nuclear attack which destroys Brownsville and the surrounding area.
