In the midst of this challenging time in history, we are exceptionally proud of our first graduating class of high school students. Congratulations to our Class of 2020, who have shown focus, determination, and resilience – skills that will be critical to success in college and will help them become the diverse and dynamic leaders our country needs.
About the Class of 2020
With us since elementary and middle school, this class has not only had exceptional academic achievement, but also pioneered Brooke’s growth as we expanded into a network of schools that leads the city and state.
Their years of hard work on rigorous academics as well as countless hours doing sports, clubs and extra-curricular earned Brooke High School’s Class of 2020 acceptances to an impressive list of higher education institutions!
Think about all of the ancestors of your people who some way, somewhere, were thinking about this moment. They imagined this, that someone of their blood, would be taking this next step. You are that person... The only thing you need to do in the morning is to wake up and be your best self. People expect humanity and dignity - if you can hold those two values in your mind, you will be a tremendous human being.

Our Class of 2020 Valedictorian, Hector Mendoza, shares how coming to Brooke in 6th grade helped set his sights on college and how he channeled his passion for astronomy and computer science to apply to Williams College, where he'll be a freshman in the fall! Finally, he offers advice to younger students at Brooke.
College Counseling and Alumni Support Are Mission Critical
College Counseling
Brooke's approach to college counseling specifically seeks to match students with higher education institutions that have a strong record of graduating low-income, first generation students of color and do not require students to take on significant debt.
Once Brooke alumni are in college, they receive support from our Office of College Success to ensure they are making academic progress, receiving adequate financial aid, and getting connected on campus all with the goal of college persistence.
