Student Spotlight
EMILY POOLE '16 Loves about Brebeuf: I love the teachers because they are always here for the students and you really have a friendship with them. Favorite Class: My favorite class was honors anatomy. It was challenging, but so interesting! The dissections and activities we did were my favorite.
Future Plans: I plan to go into nursing. I have not decided on a college, but I hope to one day work in an impoverished area as a nurse. Teams & Co-Curriculars: Lacrosse
GSA club
French club
Kriya club
RAK club Random Fact: My rapper name is Poolesofcash. Is Brebeuf as academically rigorous as they say?
I can honestly say Brebeuf is most definitely as rigorous as they say. As challenging as the classes are, the teachers work so hard to help us in any way possible.
Would you rather…
Go to the movie theater or stay home with Netflix?
Most definitely stay home and watch Netflix. No need to be around people when I've got my stuffed animals. Vacation in Hawaii or Alaska?
Alaska because I hate the beach and I love hiking. I've always wanted to visit Alaska. Watch TV or read a book?
I'd rather watch TV because, despite my love for books, they make me fall asleep. Travel by sailboat or cruise ship?
Travel by sail boat because big boats scare me. Maybe my ancestors on the titanic subconsciously warned me about big boats. Go forward in time or back in time?
I'd rather go back in time and relive the past and leave the future a mystery.
Favorite Christmas Movie?
White Christmas because I always watch it with my mom or my grandma every year.

Dr. Suniya Luthar Visiting Brebeuf Jesuit to Present: The Mental Price of AffluenceDr. Suniya Luthar writes, “Evidence suggests that the privileged young are much more vulnerable today than in previous generations.” In particular, upper-middle class families are more likely to have higher rates of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. The pressure to get good grades, play sports, and get into the best colleges can be overwhelming. While stress can be important to show how hard students are working, it is also important to consider the negative impacts. Dr. Suniya Luthar is a Foundation Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University and Professor Emerita at Columbia University’s Teachers College. She has conducted extensive research on children in affluent communities that has earned national attention and recognition. On Monday, January 25, 2016 Brebeuf Jesuit will be hosting Dr. Luthar for her presentation – The Mental Price of Affluence – in an event co-sponsored by Cathedral High School and St. Richards Episcopal School. Dr. Luthar will be speaking to parents and guardians about her findings, the pressures facing economically advantaged students, and discussing ways to help students. All Brebeuf Jesuit, Cathedral, and St. Richard’s Episcopal families are encouraged to attend this event, join the discussion and learn more about helping students.
Event: Speaking of Psychology: The Mental Price of Affluence Who: Dr. Suniya Luthar, author of Developmental Psychopathology: Perspectives on Adjustment, Risk, and Disorder; Resilience and Vulnerability in Childhood: Adaptation in the Context of Adversities When: Monday, January 25, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. Where: Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, Room: Auditorium
Co-Sponsors: Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, Cathedral High School, and St. Richard’s Episcopal School
