We are excited to welcome Christopher Shore '95 to campus as the featured Veterans' Day Assembly speaker. After 24 distinguished years of service as a U.S. Marine Corps Officer, culminating in his role as Director of International Strategic Partnerships, Chris retired from active duty, bringing to a close an exceptional career marked by leadership in international partnerships, talent management, and logistics. Most recently serving at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, Norway, Chris concluded his tour with notable honors, including presenting at the prestigious FSI FAR/DFARS Seminar and receiving an award from U.S. European Command.

 

Chris and his family have relocated to the Chicago area. Alumni are more than welcome to attend and hear Chris share his insights, stories, and reflections from a truly remarkable career.

We are excited to welcome Lydia Hamilton '98 to campus as the featured speaker for the Founders Day Assembly. Lydia is currently an independent project management consultant with a strong background in operations and program leadership across corporate and nonprofit sectors.

 

A Milwaukee native and BA graduate, Lydia holds a degree from Loyola University Chicago. Her career has included roles at GE Healthcare, Northwestern Mutual, Wikipedia, and Vice President of Operations at The Philadelphia Inquirer, where she led strategic initiatives and supervised the construction of the company’s new headquarters.

 

Alumni are invited to attend the assembly to hear Lydia speak and are welcome to stay afterward to reconnect.

We currently have two after-school positions open - one in the Primary School and one in the Middle School. The ideal candidate for each of these positions should enjoy working with students and be able to create a positive learning environment, as well as maintain a high level of professionalism while assisting students.

 

Interested? Reach out to Elizabeth Andersen for more details.

Each year, Brookfield Academy welcomes more than a dozen international students into our vibrant community. These students, along with their host families, share meaningful academic and cultural experiences, building lasting friendships that span the globe.

 

Hosting is a wonderful way for alumni to stay engaged with BA's day-to-day life, make a difference in a student's journey, and experience the energy of campus life again - all while receiving a generous stipend.

 

If you would like to learn more or are interested in hosting for the 2025-26 school year, please contact Dr. Larry Pesch.

Interested in having a shadow at work? A few very motivated BA Upper School students have begun a new club that is focused on connecting BA students with professionals in the Milwaukee area who are willing to share insights about their careers. They are hoping to help students find shadowing opportunities in various fields. 

 

As BA alumni, you are a unique resource that can provide a wealth of valuable information for these eager students. Would you be willing to lend your expertise and guidance in supporting these students? 

 

Reach out to the Alumni Office if you are interested.

The Class of 2015 is coming up on 10 years, and the Class of 2000 will mark an incredible 25 years since graduation. It's reunion season, and we would love your help! Whether you’re interested in helping organize a milestone reunion or simply want to help gather fellow alumni for a fun get-together, we welcome your involvement. Whether you have ideas or just a little time to offer, we’d love to hear from you!

 

We had a fantastic Friday welcoming back several alumni to campus - just in time to send us off on Spring Break with some serious inspiration. From incredible career journeys to priceless words of wisdom, they reminded us that the possibilities after graduation are endless. A huge thank you to our visiting alums for sharing their experiences and motivating our students.

Why have just one alumni gathering when you can have two? That’s exactly what we did in Washington, D.C., bringing together familiar faces and great conversations. It was fantastic seeing so many of you—thank you for coming and making it such a memorable time!

 

Next stop: Seattle, Washington on Saturday, January 24, 2026. Not from Seattle? No problem! Consider this your perfect excuse to visit the Emerald City.
