From the desk of Brian Nelson, Academic Dean:

One of the greatest honors of my job is to recognize students for their dedication to the pursuit of academic excellence.  The valedictorian and salutatorian of a senior class are great examples of perseverance and commitment.  It is my pleasure to officially announce Chipper Adams as the valedictorian and McCray Fletcher as the salutatorian of the Class of 2016.  Both of these young men have worked hard and experienced great success in their studies; however, their impacts on the Brook Hill community extend beyond the classroom.  As you will see from their profiles below, Chipper and McCray have truly taken advantage of the opportunities Brook Hill has provided and have left a lasting mark on our school.

Congratulations, Chipper and McCray!  I am proud of both of you and am excited to watch as God using you both to further His Kingdom.
