THE ROUNDUP

Seniors anticipate graduation and the prospect of college in the coming months, while other students prepare to rise in the ranks.
Brophy prides itself on being the only Jesuit high school in Arizona since 1928 and on providing the impetus for spiritual growth in accordance with Jesuit ideals.
In a survey by The Roundup, in conjunction with Mr. Tim Sanford’s statistics class, 21 percent of the 70 seniors asked said their religious beliefs had changed from freshman to senior year.

This year Brophy’s seniors are heading to a variety of schools in each of the four corners of the country.
