Jason Brown Brings Olympic Enthusiasm Home to HPHS

The bronze medal winner spoke at two assemblies at the high school, which were closed to the public. Patch captured much of it on video.

Jason Brown has had quite a run.

After his Olympic debut, during which he became a media sensation due in large part to his uncontainable excitement, he returned to his hometown for an appearance at Highland Park High School. There he shared his enthusiasm and his thanks for Highland Park's support, as well as some words of wisdom for the students on following their passions and working hard at their goals.

Patch captured much of the homecoming, which was closed to the public, on video. Below you can watch all three segments:
