Each school year, Brophy recognizes 32 seniors as Distinguished Students, 16 in the fall and 16 in the spring. These students have been exemplary representatives of Brophy; they have demonstrated outstanding effort in school, achieved a solid record of participation in co-curricular activities and have established a record of service to not only the Brophy community but the greater community as well. As they approach the end of their time at Brophy, they have also become wonderful examples of the Jesuit-educated graduate at graduation — intellectually competent, open to growth, religious, loving and committed to doing justice.
Principal Jim Bopp recently announced the fall honorees who were recognized at a ceremony on Dec. 5. At the event, President Bob Ryan and Principal Bopp read a citation for each of them noting their myriad contributions to academic and co-curricular life. Congratulations to the 2024 Fall Distinguished Students:
Christian Camarata Carlos Estrada Andrew Flynn Michael Gonzales Nik Gonzalez Noah Hubbard Aidan Hyde Blake Mahoney Dione Pahilan Santiago Paul Henry Ponce Grant Sonnenberg Jackson Stack Michael Tsai Nate Villavicencio Henry Walters
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
