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.

They sit atop the Leaders Division at 5-0; Ohio State, Purdue and Wisconsin are second at 2-2.
