The Media & Film Institute (MFI) at Brackenridge High School is the San Antonio Independent School District's choice school for creative careers. The program focuses on all types of media. Our students study the arts, computer technologies, television, film, animation, comics, social media, the news, information distribution, and popular culture in addition to the typical high school curriculum.

MFI students explore real-world professional experiences and work alongside highly qualified professionals with industry experience. Students master an array of software tools that are the industry-standard, preparing them for professional success.

At MFI, we challenge the imagination, demand collaboration, foster reflective thinking, and develop disciplined effort along with problem-solving skills. MFI students are tasked with exploring perspectives, creative expression, performance, historical and cultural heritage, and critical evaluation in order to provide broad, unifying structures to understand our world.

MFI prepares students for many choices, equipping them with the tools, attitudes, and confidence to contribute to our democratic way of life in a rapidly changing world.  MFI students are prepared for success and are ready to lead!  Join us so you too can change the world!
