Eaglebrook School was founded in 1922 by Howard Gibbs as a private boarding and day school for boys in middle school. Learn about our school in Deerfield, Massachusetts then and now, and read about the Core Skills we think every boy should know.

Eaglebrook is a close community of middle school students, teachers, and their families. Activities outside of the academic classroom are important to the intellectual, social, physical, and emotional development of boys in middle school.

At Eaglebrook, boys learn more than they ever thought possible, discover inner resources, develop self-confidence, and have fun along the way. Delivering on our mission is only possible through the incredible generosity of alumni, parents, parents of alumni, and friends.”
The boys welcomed the Warrior Elite team from Longmeadow to the Hill for their second contest of their young season. Early on, the Eagles pushed the pace of the game and saw many opportunities open up on offense. Despite hitting multiple posts and getting some high percentage looks, the boys were unable to find the back of the net. As a result, the visitors transitioned the ball up field and converted on some interior cuts to extend their lead. With some undisciplined play ensuing, the Eagles found themselves short-handed for a majority of the contest. However, as the game wore on, the Brookies started to find their rhythm and showed some energy down the stretch. Timely dodging at even strength and the ability to find the seams on the extra man unit allowed the Eagles to finish the game in a strong manner. Despite the final score favoring the visitors 12-8, the boys displayed many positives throughout the game. As a whole, the team will collectively continue to work on team concepts on both sides of the ball and look to build upon these early learning experiences moving forward. The team will look to make the necessary adjustments over the course of the next few practices and gear up for their next contest at Pomfret on Saturday.
