Brooks Beloved Community Day
Tomorrow, we will hold our first Brooks Beloved Community Day, an annual day when the school comes together to reflect on — and demonstrate — how the Brooks community embodies Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of a beloved community, and how that community contributes to the continued fight for social justice. For the overview of the day, review the detailed schedule. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the day, please contact Dean of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Reverend Terri Ofori.

ALICE Drill
Under the oversight of the North Andover Police Department, Brooks students and employees conducted an emergency training drill yesterday. This drill simulated an active shooter situation and had been scheduled for some time. In light of the recent school shooting in Nashville, we recognize that the timing of this drill could be troubling for some. We sincerely wish we did not have to do this type of training or address these issues in our society, however, the reality is that we do. We communicated with our students to seek a trusted adult: advisor, counseling office, and the Health and Wellness Center staff for additional support if needed. Please contact Associate Head for Student Affairs Andrea Heinze if you have any questions about the drill or campus safety.
