Last Thursday, we had the unprecedented privlege of hosting a world leader, Madame President Ellen Sirleaf of Liberia, on our campus. After all, it’s not every day you host a  Nobel-Peace Prize winner at school. It was a monumental and joyous occasion. As one of our seniors said with utmost sincerity, “This is the biggest and best thing that we have ever had at Brookstone!  It was amazing!” And it was. It was such an honor to have her visit, but even more so to hear her speak. Filled with […]

The Brookstone community lost two incredibly dear and influential members this summer: Mr. Charles J. Cumiskey and Mr. Bill Turner. The impact these two men had on the Brookstone community and the Columbus community at large, cannot be overstated.

Catherine Trotter, one of our long time faculty members, made these remarks to new faculty at the beginning of the year: Two individuals whose influence and impact played an important role in establishing the culture of […]

They asked for donations from upper school families alone and were […]

There is so much good going on at Brookstone – how do we best share it all? The end result…Be the One.    Be the One is about so much more than […]
