Involved in Every Aspect of the School
From the desk of Shawn Rhoads, Director of Residence Life:
One of the challenges that faces a Brook Hill boarding student is NOT trying to come up with ways to be involved.聽 Rather, it is narrowing down which of the multiple options available to students in which to be involved.聽 鈥淒o I choose golf or baseball?聽 The musical or track and field?聽 Cheer or softball?聽 Drum Line or Orchestra?鈥� Often times students are able to make multiple options work simultaneously.聽 At this particular time we have students participating in a number of great teams, squads and casts.聽 For example, as I type, two of our girls are in Galveston, Texas preparing for their playoff and championship varsity softball game.聽 One of our boys is on the varsity baseball team battling in our first round playoff game.聽 Among the Cheerleading Squad is one of our junior girls who will be cheering on our softball team.聽 Within the past few days one of our senior boys lead the golf team to the聽state tournament.聽 Many of our students in the Orchestra just brought home the state championship in that arena.聽 Our Choir kids placed聽3rd in the State.聽 Earlier today, another senior boarding student addressed his peers from the pulpit in Upper School Chapel.聽 Everywhere you look you find our boarding students, alongside our day students, making great contributions, pulling their weight and doing their part to make Brook Hill one of the best boarding schools in the country.聽 I am very proud of our boarding students, as I am of all of our students.聽 Great work, guys.聽 Keep it up.聽 You are putting Brook Hill on the map as one of the premier Boarding Schools, not only in Texas and the South, but in the nation.
