It is a part of Brockton Public Schools . As of 2016 Brockton High School, with 4,250 students, is one of the largest high schools in the United States and the largest high school in Massachusetts . Although widely stated by locals to be the largest high school East of the Mississippi River, it is in fact false, as this title is currently held by Brooklyn Technical High School in New York City . Brockton High School's colors are Black & Red and their mascot is the Boxers, which is a reference to the storied boxing history of the city, and also a tribute to hall - of - fame boxers Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler, who are both from Brockton and alumni of Brockton High School . </P> <P> When Brockton High was established, it could house only 125 students . As the population of Brockton grew, there was increasing demand for a larger building . In 1906, a new high school was constructed, consisting of an "A" building and a "B" building . By the 1960s, student numbers exceeded capacity, causing split sessions; upper classmen and sophomores attended school at different times of the day . The sophomores attended in the afternoon while the upperclassman took their classes in the morning . In 1965, the City Council Finance Committee approved an $8 million proposal to construct a new high school to accommodate the swelling student body . In 1965, the ground for the new building was broken and in 1970, the school was complete . The "A" building has since been torn down, and the "B" building currently houses charter and alternative high school programs . Currently there are about 4,250 students housed in the nine buildings which comprise the current high school; the campus is approximately the size of an aircraft carrier (1 / 3 mile long) and has 13.5 acres (55,000 m) of floor space, about half the size of the Prudential Center in Boston.
