This year, Back-to-School Night will take place on Wednesday, August 19, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m., unless your student has a Zero Hour course. If your student has a Zero Hour course, your night will begin at 6:53 p.m. Parents will meet briefly with each teacher to learn about course content and policies for homework, testing, and grading. You will receive an email from Amy Pitcher on Tuesday, August 18, with a reminder, a full agenda for the evening, and your child's schedule. Please bring the schedule with you to use as a guide.

Student Spotlight
EMMA CARESS '16 Loves about Brebeuf: My favorite thing about Brebeuf is how accessible the teachers are! They are always willing to help you. I also love all the amazing opportunities that are available here. Whatever you love, there is something here for you!
Favorite Class: My favorite classes would be the three classes I took with Ms. Manton: Honors Algebra II, Honors Geometry, and Honors Finite/Precalculus. I liked math coming into Brebeuf, yet Ms. Manton taught me how to find a love in math and has pushed me to be a better student. During my sophomore year, she even pushed me to enter into IUPUI's math contest. (Editor's Note: Emma placed third overall in this highly competitive contest and was awarded a $2,000 cash scholarship to IUPUI.)
Future Plans: After Brebeuf, I plan to further my education by one day going to medical school. I have a combined love of philanthropy, travel, and public health/medicine, so I hope one day to be able to combine my interests.
Teams & Co-Curriculars: Varsity Girls Basketball & Cross Country
Co-president of Math Club
Pre-med Club
Tatum's Bags of Fun
Presidential Ambassador
Admissions Ambassador
National Honors Society
Caress Family Foundation & Various Philanthropic Organizations
Random Fact: I absolutely adore rainy, overcast days. They definitely bring me immense happiness. Is Brebeuf as academically rigorous as they say? I would definitely agree that Brebeuf is as academically rigorous as they say; however, with all the amazing help that teachers provide here at school, one definitely has the resources to succeed. I can remember many times during both my freshman and sophomore years utilizing the math office a ton! The most important thing I have learned is that you have to have good time management and utilize the teachers that are available to help. Who is your hero? Both my mom and dad are my heroes. They both push me to do my best and make it happen; however, they also teach me to live in the moment and make sure that I am always doing the things that I love and that bring me happiness.
