Hargrave High School Falcon Chess Club

Hello!  I am Miss Braley and I am excited to be the Hargrave High School Falcon Chess Club Sponsor again this year. I have taught social studies since 2002 and played chess for many years.  Even though I live in "Longhorn" country, I love being a Falcon!  As a Falcon, I have sponsored Chess Club at Huffman Middle School for five years, and coached Chess & Social Studies UIL as part of the annual academic competition. This is my fifth year sponsoring the Falcon Chess Club at Hargrave High School, and I have enjoyed every minute. Any student is welcome who has an interest in one of the oldest games in the world.  My goal is to continue to make HHS Falcon Chess Club into an organization that is second to none, and provide a place for all Falcons to "nest" and enjoy spending time with others who share the same love for the game.
