In 1965, the City Council Finance Committee approved an $8 million proposal to construct a new high school that could accommodate the growing student body.

The current high school campus has nine buildings and is approximately 1/3 of a mile long, and it has 13.5 acres (55,000 m2) of floor space.

[4] In the 2000s, Nahyo M. Kim of The New York Times wrote that Brockton High "was a case study in failure".

The campus also features a football stadium, ice skating rink, 25-yard swimming pool, 1608-seat capacity auditorium, and four cafeterias.

[citation needed] In 2008, Brockton students had a higher level of improvement on the English MCAS than 90% of high schools.

[12] Before Colombo arrived in Brockton in 1969, he was the head coach at nearby Archbishop Williams High School from 1955–1968.

At the school, he led the bishops to five Catholic Conference titles and three Massachusetts Class D State Championships.

The actual mascot is a dog, but the name is a pun in reference to Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler, two famous boxers from Brockton.

The stadium also plays host to numerous Massachusetts high school football state playoff games, including the sectional and regional finals.
