Student Life
Brophy is known for a very engaging and active student life. The student council as well as over 90 student-led clubs and organizations regularly coordinate activities that involve the whole student body. Its Science Bowl and Quiz Bowl teams have also had recent successes. In 2008, 2009, and 2012 Brophy sent teams to the National Science Bowl competition. The school prides itself on its student cheering sections at athletic events, which are often the largest and most effective in the state. The basketball cheering section, known as the 6th Man, has recently been compared by Arizona sportswriters to the famous Cameron Crazies of Duke University. The school newspaper, The Roundup, has won several state awards for its work. Most recently it was named the top high school newspaper in the state of Arizona by the Arizona Newspapers Association in 2011 and 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“To finish the moment, to find the journey’s end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom. It is not the part of men, but of fanatics, or of mathematicians, if you will, to say, that, the shortness of life considered, it is not worth caring whether for so short a duration we were sprawling in want, or sitting high. Since our office is with moments, let us husband them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
