About 200 kids arrived on campus September 8 for a chance to experience Brother Martin High School’s campus, and get to know its students and faculty.
Crusader Discovery Night hosts prospective 5th – 8th-grade students to ‘Discover’ the Crusader spirit through games, food, presentations, and a pep rally. Student Ambassadors and Student Recruiting teams welcomed visitors and invited them to take part in games both indoors in the Benson Mall, and outdoors in the campus’ Backyard. There was ping pong and basketball, board games and catch football, among other activities.
Prospective students enjoyed pizza and hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and more during dinner, before hearing from Student Council President Colby Coulon ’17 and Director of Admissions Carlos Bogran III ’99.
From there, students were divided into four groups based on the color bandana (crimson, gold, white, gray) they received at check-in. They then ‘discovered’ Brother Martin through four different rotations consisting of an academic talk from current students and faculty, demonstrations by the science department in the Meyer Building, extracurricular fair in the first floor Resource Center, and athletic discussions with coaches and players in the Bro. Mark Thornton Terrace.
By the end of the night, future Crusaders enjoyed a pep rally with the Brother Martin Crusader Band and Crusader Cheerleaders in the Conlin Gym.
