During trench warfare, the […]

From the desk of Brian Nelson, Academic Dean: For students, attending a private school is a sacrifice.  Rigorous academics contribute to more writing, reading, and thinking.  You have to work harder and more is expected of you. For parents, sending your child to a private school is a sacrifice.  Financially, you are dedicating precious resources […]

From the desk of Katie Ramirez, Director of Admissions: Did you know that  320 is my new favorite number?   It gives me great joy to report we had 320 students re-enroll at Brook Hill on opening day!

Last week we shared about Mrs. Mattay’s 7th graders studying immigration. This week, Mrs. Figueroa’s students participated in a similar simulation, but focusing on Texas instead of the United States as a whole. Students participated in an exciting simulation in which they assumed various political roles that required them to make life-impacting and world-changing decisions about […]
