January 30, 2015

From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster: As I was walking through the Lower School today I saw a group of moms working on hallway bulletin boards.  And, I’ll be honest, I got really sad. That was Heather (my wife) a “minute” ago.  My boys are now in 6th, 9th, and 11th grade.  They are […]

An Encouraging Letter

November 21, 2014

From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster: As the Headmaster of The Brook Hill School there are so many things that I am thankful for – too many to list in just one article.  I must say, however, that I am truly thankful for the notes and emails that I receive regularly form parents, grandparents, […]
