Breck Alumni Association

We have another alumni feature from our most recent e-newsletter for you today. A huge thank you to the Wisely siblings, Willie ’83, Beth ’86, and Jake ’88, for sitting down for our first family-style interview. Each sibling left Breck to pursue different yet remarkably successful paths. From international concert stages to managing major music companies to university science labs, the Wiselys have certainly made their mark.

Talented poet and writer Julian Randall ‘11 is back again with a new book. Shook is Julian’s latest middle school novel. It follows a 12-year-old basketball phenom who is learning to navigate his anxiety disorder after being sidelined with an ankle injury. Shook is available for preorders and will drop on August 4, 2026. Run, don’t walk, to preorder Shook!
