Faith in Pain and Fame

October 30, 2015

From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster: “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” Philippians 1:27               One day recently, I spent the morning watching a family walk through an extremely painful and life-altering experience.  That evening, I watched a young man on national TV experience a coveted moment […]

Why a Christian Education Matters

October 16, 2015

From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster: “You really can’t escape faith. All you can do is replace one faith with another faith. And so if you’re not going to have faith in the God of scripture, well, then, you will have faith in a god of humanism or Islam or atheism or whatever your […]

The Brook Hill Journey

October 02, 2015

From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster: From time to time I receive emails from parents that put things that are hard to articulate into words.  The Brook Hill “experience,” or “process,” or “journey” is one of those things.  I recently received the following email from a Brook Hill Mom that describes her child’s journey […]

September 25, 2015

From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster: Island adventure turned out to be the theme of last week’s Senior Trip to Catalina Island off the coast of California.  From swimming with sharks, to hiking steep hills and running from buffalo, to catching moray eels with bare hands, the trip was marked by confronting fears, overcoming […]

The Guard Charge

September 11, 2015

From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster: In the evening, when I say goodnight to my boys, I bless them with the words, “Live Pure, Speak True, Right Wrong, Serve Others, Follow the King.”  Often I say it in a way that probably comes across to them as pleading.  Why?  Because I believe – I […]

Happy New Year

From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster: A new school year is a great time to make some “new year’s resolutions.”  For the student, teacher, or even parent sending their kids off to school, the new school year is a new beginning, a fresh start, and a clean slate.  What a great time to resolve […]

July 30, 2015

From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster: This is the time of year when I get really energized and excited.    (The students think I am crazy – but I just remind myself that I have pretty stiff competition – SUMMER.)  I love this time of year because with a new school year comes a fresh […]

You Can’t Afford to NOT Go to Brook Hill

June 03, 2015

From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster: I am jealous of my boys.  They get to attend The Brook Hill School. I went to John Muir High School in Pasadena, CA.  It was fine.
