Brophy College Preparatory is a Jesuit high school located in Phoenix, Arizona. The school is currently limited to all-male enrollment of approximately 1,200 students. It is operated independently of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix. The school's web site states that Brophy historically has produced more National Merit finalists and semifinalists than any other school in Arizona, and reports that 97 percent of Brophy's graduates attend four-year institutions.
The school has four campuses: the main academic campus in north-central Phoenix at Central Avenue and Camelback Road, a retreat campus called Manresa near Sedona, the new Brophy Sports Campus east of the academic campus in Phoenix and contiguous to the campus of Xavier College Preparatory, and The Dottie Boreyko/Brophy East Swim Campus, located near 28th Street and Campbell Avenue. Brophy is entirely self-sufficient, with no diocesan or government financial assistance.
Its chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.

Famous quotes containing the word college:
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
