College Counseling

With a great sense of urgency, our scholars are preparing to attend and succeed in college and beyond. Our scholars are persisting through their academics at Brooke High School and will take their resilience with them to college.

Preparing the dynamic, diverse leaders of tomorrow

Our College Vision

We are committed to ensuring our alumni enter adulthood empowered with the knowledge, confidence, resourcefulness, and integrity to be upwardly mobile in a global workforce. Brooke graduates will be prepared and expected to earn a bachelor’s degree in a high-demand field. In doing so, they will seize upon or create opportunities to become financially secure, constantly engage their intellect and curiosity, pioneer inroads into areas that traditionally exclude women and men of color, and claim their sense of belonging.

Our college counseling team targets schools with a demonstrated history of strong financial aid, programming that supports students of color in their college transitions, and high graduation rates for students of color.
