Student Spotlight
Sam Salentine '19
Loves About Brebeuf
I love how caring the faculty and staff are. They take a genuine interest in each and every one of the students at school. I would not be the student or the person I am today without the incredible support I received from all of the employees at Brebeuf. Also a big shout out to Dr. Fadely and Mrs. Neukam. Words cannot express how much they have done for me during my time in high school.
Future Plans
I am currently undecided about where I will attend school next year. However, I know I want to study business. In addition, I want to continue to give back through programs like volunteer tutoring and mentoring for underprivileged kids.
Favorite Class
My favorite class that I have taken at Brebeuf has been AP Comparative Government with Mr. Kantz. Everyone was super engaged in the class, which led to some very interesting discussions and passionate debates.
