"You Will Be Known Here" Video Project

Description: Each school year, it is a tradition at Brebeuf Jesuit for a member of the faculty/staff community to write a personalized, handwritten note to a graduating senior to share words of love, encouragement, and well-wishes for the future. For this video project, the production team captured this special surprise unfold and asked a select number of students to read their letters aloud on camera. Students also answered interview questions that encouraged them to reflect on their high school experience and what it meant to them.

Though I did not yet work full-time at Brebeuf at the time of recording, I had the opportunity to package footage from this special moment into a video for the Admissions Office share with prospective families. As a Brebeuf alumna myself who felt truly known and valued in the warmth of the Brebeuf environment, it was a joy to tell this story and share it with middle school students who were discerning where to spend their next four years. When families are searching for a high school for their children to attend, they want to know what to expect: What does the day-to-day student experience look like? Will my student be cared for here, or will they get lost in the crowd? What is the student-teacher relationship like?

This video is designed to provide answers to precisely these questions and others like it. And who better than graduating Brebeuf students to share what life at Brebeuf is like? It’s a place where you will not only receive a wonderful education - it’s a place where you will feel truly known by students, teachers, and staff, alike.
