Welcome to the 52nd Brentwood Regatta

We are delighted to welcome you to the 52nd Brentwood Regatta. This showcase of the finest high school rowers in the Pacific Northwest remains anchored in its traditional place in the calendar—the last weekend in April!

For students and staff at Brentwood, the build-up for this event started almost a year ago—in May of 2023. From our Grade 10-12 Entre Booths on Campbell Commons, to piloting umpire boats, to boat-holding at the 100-meter starting dock, every detail is stitched together for the nearly 1,500 athletes and coaches to put on the best possible show. 

Over the course of these three days, we urge you to soak in every aspect of this special experience that will ripple through the rest of the 2024 regatta season and, if you are lucky, through the remainder of time; for these waters have lifted young students to Olympic glory—who’s next?

De Manu In Manum,

Bud Patel
Head of School
