School history
 year school was built: 1940
It is the oldest school in the city. It has been renovated several times.  Two more floors and a canteen have been added to the building.  First it was an ordinary secondary school, then it became a specialized physics and mathematics school and its teachers were famous all over the country.  In 1992 the school got a status of a gymnasium, a magnet school.  To enter the school you have to pass several special tests.  The students get an in-depth knowledge of two foreign languages - English, French or German - mathematics, physics, Russian and Belorussian languages and literature.  Many students take part in different international competitions with great success.  Our school's name is for the defenders of the Brest Fortress.  On the first floor of the school there is a museum of the defenders of the Brest Fortress and also of the young heroes who took part in World War II.  We have many pen-pals in different cities and countries.  Many students from other schools come to visit our museum.

health education project
 - health topic: "AIDS"
Sister school name: Miami Senior High School
.  Short information about health education project
Health survey revealed that our students have a good deal of information on the topic of AIDS. The majority of students realize that only responsibility and pride can save people from the plaque of the XX-th century. Most students understand that once being infected you can infect other people, even their nearest and dearest. The survey revealed that in spite of having quite a good deal of information about AIDS teen-agers still need further discussion on the ways AIDS can and cannot be transferred, on the way of protections and symptoms.
