What an incredible week this has been! Our students have had all kinds of opportunities and new experiences during SPARC Week. Some of our students got to do a special internship or tour college campuses. Many got to enjoy new activities and learn new skills. We’ve hiked, climbed, explored, and learned. We’ve played music, bonded […]
From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster: I am not typically an emotional man, but the range of emotions I have experienced over the past few weeks has been overwhelming. But, to my amazement, people in our Brook Hill community have come alongside me with encouraging words about my leadership and strength during these difficult […]
We had a very special chapel at the Lower School today. In celebration of the Fine Arts, we awarded and honored those students who exemplify outstanding potential in the arts and technology.

Mrs. Smith’s first grade class was able to present their chapel on Friday this week instead of Wednesday, due to the weather.

The third graders at Brook Hill have been collecting PB&J for My Brother’s Keeper which is an organization that provides sandwiches for the homeless in the Tyler area. “Filling Hearts With PB&J” was a BIG SUCCESS! 3rd graders worked to earn money so PB&J could be purchased.

From the desk of Wally Dawkins, Athletic Director: It was the end of May 2008. I was facing one of the toughest decisions of my life. Or so it seemed. I had just concluded 30 years of teaching and coaching in public schools in Texas. The last 21 years at Whitehouse where I served as […]
