Summary
Student representatives from Brookfield Central and Brookfield East briefed the board on fall activities: high AP pass rates at Central, National Merit semifinalists, arts and athletics highlights, and suggestions to improve freshman outreach and club communications.
Student representatives from Brookfield Central and Brookfield East summarized start-of-year academic, arts, activities and athletics highlights during the Oct. 13 board meeting.
Brookfield Central reported strong Advanced Placement results from 2025: students took 1,117 AP exams and 93% scored a 3 or higher; approximately 250 students earned AP Scholar distinctions, and 15 seniors were named National Merit semifinalists. Central also described high participation in club fairs and school activities, and near sell-out advance ticket sales for the school musical.
Brookfield East noted its fall musical, athletic successes and that eight Brookfield East students were named National Merit semifinalists; the school also announced a student named a U.S. Presidential Scholar for Wisconsin for 2025. Student representatives from both schools highlighted freshman outreach, improved calendar visibility for club meetings, and suggested earlier club-day timing so new students can find activities sooner.
Students also noted athletics milestones — new school records in volleyball and state qualifiers in tennis and golf — and several service events that raised funds and awareness for mental-health and cancer-related causes.
Ending: Board members asked the students to follow up on suggested calendar changes with building administrators; no board action was required.
