Dylan joined Brook Hill in the Fall of 2020 as a freshman, transferring from a local public school in the area. He’s plugged into our community right away and has been thriving as a student at Brook Hill! Dylan also loves sports, and the athletic program was a big reason he and his family chose Brook Hill. We got the chance to hear from his parents about their experience at Brook Hill and why they believe it was one of the best decisions they ever made.

One of the unique influences in Dylan’s life since coming to Brook Hill has been the upperclassmen. They have inspired him and he is amazed by how many student-athletes are leaders both on and off the field. We have never seen him so involved in the life of a school before. He came home one afternoon and said one his senior friends shared how he wished that he had taken his freshman year more seriously and told Dylan to not take this year for granted. It is amazing to see what Brook Hill has to offer young student athletes like Dylan!

He now has interests and aspirations that will take him on a path beyond sports – helping him imagine his future life and career.
