Distinguished Brooksian Award
The Distinguished Brooksian award honors individuals whose life and contributions to society exemplify the nobility of character and usefulness to humanity embodied in the spirit of the school. Dr. Joseph Sherer '37 presented the first Distinguished Brooksian award to Frank Davis Ashburn on Prize Day, May 27, 1991.
Alumni Shield Award
The Alumni Shield award celebrates early achievement by a Brooks alumnus/a within 25 years of leaving Brooks. The concept of this award developed from the interest of the Alumni Board to recognize a member of the Brooks community who, through the devotion of his/her resources, has had significant accomplishments in the field of his/her endeavor.
Alumni Bowl Award
The Alumni Bowl is awarded to that member of the alumni community who has tirelessly and loyally supported the school through their thoughtful and exemplary service and dedication as a volunteer. Our school thrives today, due to the support and care of our alumni.
