Student Spotlight
Erik Klem '20
Loves About Brebeuf
I love the options that Brebeuf gives me and all of its students to choose what classes they want to take. I also love the freedom that is granted to each student and how the school cares about our well-being. Teachers are constantly asking if there is anything that they can do to help manage stress.
Future Plans
I want to be a computer scientist with a focus on machine learning and apply this into an investment market to determine when is the best time to sell and when is the best time to buy. I also want my code to be able to determine when certain products are “hot” and therefore should buy.
Teams & Co-Curriculars
I have been a starting attack for varsity lacrosse for my four years. I am also the Student Athletic Director of Brebeuf. This responsibility means that I am in charge of team managers, keep track of concessions, and lastly I help set up and take down sporting events. I absolutely love my job because I get paid to watch sports. I am forever grateful to Mr. Hampton and Mr. Weinstien for this opportunity.
