At Brooks, we heavily focus on academic achievements made by our students. However, we would be doing ourselves a disservice by not acknowledging other traits of our multi-talented student body. Therefore, this page was created to highlight some of our dedicated and creative students who run their own businesses. A wise man once said, "Any change in Chicago is going to come out of Brooks," and these students are changing Chicago one business at a time.
