ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT
FROM STUDENT TO TEAMMATE
Selwyn “Sully” Robertson
Resident Teacher
Selwyn “Sully” Robertson grew up in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. A bright child who excelled at a nearby Catholic School, his parents found Brooklyn Prospect on a whim and excitedly enrolled him after he got a lottery spot in the founding class. Sully thrived in middle school, moving on to Brooklyn Prospect High School and later graduating from St. Joseph’s University in Brooklyn. Did he ever think he’d become a resident teacher and Arts Department Head at the same high school he attended? “I had a hunch I’d come back.”
2023 was Sully’s first year managing his own classroom. “I feel great happiness helping my students achieve what they want while ensuring their emotional and mental health is top of mind and that they’re respected as human beings and people, not just seen as students.”
