Brophy Senior Elected as President of Key Club International
NEWS RELEASE
INDIANAPOLIS – David Robaina of Phoenix will serve as the 2024-25 president for Key Club International — the largest international student-led service and leadership organization for high school students. Robaina was elected during the 2024 Key Club International Convention in Atlanta, Georgia.
Robaina, a senior at Brophy College Preparatory, joined Key Club during his freshman year to develop leadership skills. His hobbies include football, musical theater and student council.
“I’m most excited to increase Key Club’s relevancy and impact on global, national and local stages,” says Robaina.
“I first realized how big a difference a Key Club could make in a community after my home club hosted a Secret Santa for the Boys and Girls Club of Scottsdale,” Robaina adds. “We shopped for Christmas presents with young kids whose families couldn’t afford new toys, and it was amazing to see such a joyful and loving group of people.”
Key Club is part of the Kiwanis International family of Service Leadership Programs. Members embrace opportunities to serve, build character and develop leadership skills while making a local and global impact. There are 75 Key Clubs in Arizona.
This morning, Brophy College Preparatory proudly hosted its New Student Convocation, a cherished tradition that prayerfully welcomes new students and their families into the Brophy community. This year’s convocation was particularly special, as it marked the arrival of the Class of 2028, coinciding with the school’s centennial year, as well as the Loyola Academy Scholar Class of 2031.
The ceremony included a prayerful reflection, highlighting the school’s commitment to faith and the Jesuit tradition. The event concluded with a blessing for the new students and their families, setting a positive and hopeful tone for the years to come. As the Class of 2028 begins its journey at Brophy, and the Loyola Academy Scholars continue their academic path, they do so with the full support of the Brophy community.
Brophy College Preparatory marked the beginning of the school year with the annual Back to School Bash, a signature event designed to foster connections between the incoming Class of 2028 and their Big Brothers. The event was a tremendous success, offering a day filled with activities aimed at building camaraderie and community.
Students participated in a variety of water-themed activities, with the highlight being the giant water slides set up on Brophy’s baseball field. The pool area was also a popular spot, providing a refreshing way to celebrate the start of the new academic year. Lively music, engaging games and a festive atmosphere contributed to a day of smiles and new friendships.
It’s clear that the students are ready for an exciting year ahead
