About 400 Brooks alumni returned to campus in June for a huge alumni weekend — the school's first in-person reunion since 2019.
The class of 2022's graduation from Brooks was a sun- and fun-filled weekend.
When students report to campus this fall, they will be greeted by a new dean of diversity, equity and inclusion: Reverend Terri Ofori.
Coaches bestowed afternoon activities and athletics honors during our awards ceremony shortly before graduation.
Four students performed in the school's annual speaking prize contest but only one, Molet Otieno '23, was declared this year's winner.
At Brooks School, we seek to provide the most meaningful educational experience our students will have in their lives.
