Welcome to the Brooklyn Prep Alumni Association

In their desire to share with young men and women the experience of an education at a Jesuit High School, the Alumni of Brooklyn Prep have established the Reverend John D. Alexander, S.J. Endowment Fund.

The purpose of this fund is to provide financial assistance to needy young men and women in the Jesuit High Schools of the New York Province of the Society of Jesus. The fund has distributed monies on an annual basis since 1978. Monies for the fund are raised by annual alumni dues as well as by generous donations and bequests. It is in this way that the Alumni have chosen to keep the spirit and name of Brooklyn Prep alive since its closing in 1972.

Joe Paterno '45 wins his 409th game!
November 2, 2011, 9:27AM
Penn State coach Joe Paterno set the Division I record for victories with No. 409, surpassing Grambling's Eddie Robinson, with a 10-7 win against Illinois. The Nittany Lions (8-1) haven't won this season in impressive fashion (they had six fumbles against Illinois), but they are the only team unbeaten in league play. They sit atop the Leaders Division at 5-0; Ohio State, Purdue and Wisconsin are second at 2-2. Here's the caveat for Penn State: In November the Nittany Lions will play Nebraska at home and Ohio State and Wisconsin on the road.
