Three years ago, I was one of a few hundred green Brophy freshmen standing in line to collect their computers as part of the new Tablet program.
We have since had the unique experience of watching the program evolve from being a class-exclusive experience to being a school-wide phenomenon.
It’s more than 100 degrees outside as I wait in the seemingly endless Brophy lunch line, for a soda.
I can’t help but think that this took less time and money the previous year.
This year regular soda was removed from the campus vending machines in favor of more healthy options.
Five Brophy students scramble off a departing German tram and walk past the sign for the Jesuit retreat center Henrich Pesch Haus.
These students are not Brophy’s European Jesuit counterparts, but in fact Brophy students about to join an international conference on climate change.
On June 1 this last summer seven anxious Brophy students met at Sky Harbor Airport and said farewell to their families and their country as they prepared to embark on the trip of a lifetime.
This trip was a 25-day Brophy sponsored immersion trip to Peru, where the main objective was to help build two houses for families.
To accompany the seven Brophy students were teachers Mr. JP Jarczyk ’99, Deacon Joe Stickney and Mr. Lloyd Daggett.
Central America was thrown into chaos this summer when the Honduran head of state Manuel Zelaya Rosales was forced out of power by his own armed forces.
Controversy in the nation stemmed from the former president’s plan to overhaul the Honduran constitution. In early 2009 Zelaya announced plans for “La Cuarta Urna,” a vote to gauge the nation’s opinion on redoing the governing document and allowing for Mr. Zelaya’s eternal reelection.
