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.
