B. F. Terry High School is located in Rosenberg, Texas, United States, and is part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District.

Terry serves all of Beasley, and serves parts of Rosenberg,[2][3] and the unincorporated communities of Booth and Crabb.[citation needed] It formerly served most of Pleak.[4]

It is named after Benjamin Franklin Terry, the leader of the 8th Texas Cavalry of the Confederate Army, also known as Terry's Texas Rangers. He was also a prominent slaveowner, white supremacist and Delegate to the Texas Secession Convention of 1861 where Texas formally ratified its rationale to join the Civil War against the United States.
