Alumnus Floyd Mason

Meet Floyd Mason

Floyd is a junior honors student at Butler High School in Matthews. Currently, he is studying debate and law, and he also excels as a sprinter competing in 100m, 200m and relay races. He works part time as a claims administrator at LifeSkills Counseling & Consulting. In his spare time, he works in his studio creating rap music. Floyd hopes to apply for law school after he finishes college.


"When I think of Brookstone, I remember my partner, Mr. Sam, and his encouragement and support. I remember the time I spoke at a mansion on behalf of the school, and singing in the choir. Serving on the school's first student council as treasurer and being safety patrol helped me want to be a lawyer."

Alumnus JT Boyd


Meet JT Boyd 
 
Ja’Teruis Boyd graduated in June 2012 from Brookstone Schools. He is now enrolled in 7th grade at KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program) Charlotte School. JT is thankful for the reading tools that were given to him at Brookstone School. He just recently took a reading test showing that he’s reached a 9th grade reading level.



JT comes from a hard working family: his mother, Jackie Davis, just earned her associate’s degree in accounting from DeVry Univeristy. She graduated on the dean’s list in October 2011. His brother, Jonquez, 23, is also working hard as he attends ITT Technical Institute.

 

Like his family members, JT aspires to go to college and thanks Brookstone for the many skills he gained as a student. Reading and communication skills are such important tools to succeed and JT is on the right track with his advanced level reading skills. We are excited to see JT grow and look forward to hearing what’s next for him!
