2021 HALL OF FAME inductees

Christian Brothers High School is proud to announce its 2021 Hall of Fame inductees, who will be honored in an on-campus ceremony on Sunday, April 18 . Candidates are chosen by the Hall of Fame membership based on their personal accomplishments, civic and public contributions, as well as support of and involvement with the school. Eligible alumni candidates must have graduated a minimum of 20 years prior to selection.

The CBHS Hall of Fame was established in 1968. Since then, nearly 600 men have been inducted into the group by their peers.

Dr. Jamie Brummer was appointed Principal of Christian Brothers High School on October 7 this year, but he has been an active member of the CBHS community for nearly 25, having served as a teacher, coach, mentor, department chair, associate principal, and, most recently, as interim principal for the school. As of this school year, he is also a CBHS parent twice over.

In the past nine months, he has shown tremendous leadership, guiding our faculty, staff, and families with grace, compassion, support, and complete transparency during an unprecedented time in high school education and in our country's history. He has taken an impressive amount of care to hear the concerns of our entire community and to take swift and appropriate action when necessary. By his example, he inspires us to be better collaborators, to seek the input of others, and to do both with humility. With Dr. Brummer at the helm, Christian Brothers High School will only continue to prosper.

A lifelong educator, Dr. Brummer received a bachelor’s degree in English and American Literature from the University of Notre Dame and two postgraduate degrees from the University of Memphis: a master’s degree in English and American Literature and a Doctor of Philosophy in American Literature.

As a graduate of the Lasallian Leadership Institute, Dr. Brummer models the Lasallian ideals and charism, believing that the faith formation of our young men is what resonates with them now and will guide them for the rest of their lives. It is what brings us together as a community, even through the most uncertain of times. Our Lasallian identity is what has and what will always set us apart as an educational institution in Memphis.

I join our entire community in congratulating Dr. Brummer, as he continues to lead Christian Brothers High School into its 150th year in Memphis. His longstanding commitment to the highest standards of instruction, educational leadership, and the student experience ensures a steady vision for CBHS in the years to come.
