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 […]

We have all been shocked and disheartened at the devastation Hurricane Harvey left in his wake and the question many of us are asking is, “How can we help?” Prompted by the urging of our students, who were asking just that, our upper school jumped into high gear. Dean of Students, Mark Erb, and his wife, Judy, who teaches 2nd grade, volunteered to drive their truck with the drama/band trailer full of supplies to Beaumont, Texas over the weekend. 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 […]

There could not have been a more joyful way to start the day than being in the lower school carpool line this morning! With music playing, an enthusiastic crowd of teachers, football players, cheerleaders, and even Bubba the Cougar greeted our littlest students with hugs and high fives. Students were so eager to jump out of the car, they could hardly wait! One mom said her Pre-K son kept shouting, “Unbuckle me out! Unbuckle me out!” He was so excited to get out and join the fun! Not long afterward, […]
