School Notes:
  • From 160 day and boarding students in 2005 to over 500 students in 2008, The Brook Hill School, just south of Tyler, Texas is thriving. Growth continues to be the theme at Brook Hill with the recent addition of a Lower School housed in state-of-the-art facilities.
  • The Herrington Sports Complex allows the Guard football team, award-winning soccer team, and track and field competitors to play on synthetic turf to the beat of the Guard drum line and the support of the fans in the magnificent grandstands. The State Champion baseball program has also grown with the addition of softball, the installation of stadium lights, grandstands, and tailgating plaza.
  • Of equal importance is the growth of the fine arts and academic programs at Brook Hill. Annually, students compete and win at the state level in choir, orchestra, theater, and visual art competitions along side students who successfully compete in Youth in Government, PSIA, and several other academic competitions at the state level.
  • The Brook Hill School is proving to be the school of choice for domestic and international families who seek an educational environment that “provides excellence in college preparatory education, affirms the gifts and challenges the potential of each student, and encourages students to honor God through Christ-like character.”
