Brebeuf is a vibrant school community where academic excellence is complemented by extensive opportunities for faith formation, service, leadership, athletics, and co-curricular engagement. Students participate in more than 40 co-curricular clubs and 38 sports and athletic teams, contribute more than 10,000 hours of community service, and engage in retreats and other experiences that invite them to explore questions of faith, purpose, and responsibility. Together, these opportunities reflect the Jesuit commitment to educating the whole person, and preparing graduates not simply for college, but for lives of servant leadership.

The Principal serves as the academic and educational leader of Brebeuf Jesuit, responsible for the development and administration of the school’s academic and co-curricular programs and the planning, coordination, and execution of its educational policies. Reporting to the President and serving as a member of the Brebeuf Jesuit Leadership Team, the Principal provides leadership for academics, student life, athletics, counseling, and co-curricular programming while ensuring that the Catholic and Jesuit character of the school is developed, nurtured, and fully integrated throughout the student experience.
