Mr. Brian Hare is our principal here at Brooklyn High School. This past school year has been Mr. Hare’s first year as principal, previously serving as the assistant principal for two years. His main focus is to find ways to help students get more involved with extracurricular activities, to keep our school safe and in order while allowing students to express themselves, and most importantly, to get students to believe in their academic abilities. Mr. Hare was chosen for this week’s staff spotlight because of his successful first year as the leader of our high school.
