~ West Brook Senior High School is the largest high school in the city of Beaumont, Texas. It is a 5A school with a population of about 2600 students. West Brook is located at 8250 Phelan Boulevard. It is operated by the Beaumont Independent School District. The school's official mascot is the Bruin Bear, but they are considered the West Brook Bruins, and the school colors are blue and red.

~ West Brook was originally called Forest Park High School when it was built in the 1960s as part of the South Park Independent School District. South Park ISD was the target of a federal school desegregation lawsuit in the late 1970s, which it appealed unsuccessfully to the U.S. Supreme Court. Forest Park was ordered to merge with historically all-black Hebert High School, with the former serving as a senior campus and the latter as a ninth-grade center (which was eventually closed and then reopened as Ozen High School). Students of both campuses voted to select the name, and West Brook High School officially opened in the fall of 1983

~ DuPont Goodrich Federal Credit Union (Student Financial Center) is located inside the school's cafeteria. It was opened on January 2004. Chosen students from the school is employed within the center. This venture is one of the first of its kind in the region.
