Academic All-Star – Page High

Published February 19, 2016

The Academic All-Star award is given to students who exhibit a positive attitude and a commitment to excellence in the classroom. Each Academic All-Star is chosen by his or her principal and receives a framed certificate, coupons to Sonic Drive-In and a free gift courtesy of Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More in Franklin.

Last summer, while other students were enjoying the final weeks of summer break, 17-year-old Brooke Kubrickey and a few friends were at school – where they were giving Page High School’s Snack Shack a much-needed make-over.

“We decided to change it because it’s always been the same,” said Brooke. “We just thought, ‘Let’s paint it and add some new stuff.’ We also partnered with Community Coffee so we now have coffee every week. It has grown a lot.”

It’s that sort of initiative and dedication to her school community that led Principal Dr. Shane Pantall to name Brooke as Page High’s Academic All-Star.

“Brooke is a well-rounded and well-respected young lady,” said Pantall. “She works hard, maintains good grades and contributes to various aspects of the Page High community.”

Having attended Page High all four years, Brooke says she will miss all of the amazing teachers when she graduates this spring.

“I like Page High because it’s smaller,” said Brooke. “The teachers can give you individual time and if you need something they will make time in their day for you.”

Although she’s involved in numerous clubs and organizations like the National Technical Honor Society, Best Buddies and Smiles for Kids, Brooke’s favorite class is marketing, which she has taken all four years of high school.

“I’m not very creative so the whole advertising side is not really my thing, but I like talking to people and making business plans,” said Brooke. “I like the idea of starting a business and watching it grow and expand.”

After graduation, Brooke hopes to attend Brigham Young University for her undergraduate degree and Vanderbilt’s Owens College of Business for her MBA.

“I’d like to have my own business someday,” said Brooke. “I want a good future, and I think if you have a good education you will get somewhere in life.”
