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.
