Letter from Head of School JO H N PACKARD Welcome to Brooks. It’s easy for me to tout the benefits of a Brooks School education. But we want you to hear from students who are just like you — students who want to be challenged, students who are only beginning to discover their passions, and students who were nervous their first day on campus, too. In this book, we’ve collected real stories and quotes from our students and teachers. We invite you to read about Renu Mukherjee’s recent discovery that biology is “mind blowing,” or about Jackson Quinn defying his underdog status. Olivia Pearson finds a home at Brooks after moving from Atlanta, and Celmo Carvalho Filho is on a quest to make his home country of Brazil a better place. Jaime Gilbert talks about her transition from soccer star to soccer coach, and dorm parents Susanna and Willie Waters describe the signature Buffalo wings they serve on Saturday nights in Chace House. We hope these stories give you a glimpse of life at Brooks. Come see and hear more by visiting us. We have so many more stories to share, and we’re eager to help you start writing your own. We look forward to meeting you and your family on campus.
