Good times nice people wish we were better at sports tho. Very nice teachers but not the most difficult education. Offers a good variety of classes but is missing a few of the uncommon ones. Nice facilities for the most part. Just redid the interior fo the building also.

It was fun. The teachers are very invested in there students lives. The only problem I would have is that the teachers are not the best teachers. They are often confusing and not transparent. The office people are often either very rude or uninviting. I loved my time there. I joined multiple clubs and all the teachers were so fun and sweet as well. As I became an upperclassman, the oppurtunities got greater. It is also very easy to start a club/awareness.

Brandon is a very kind community with encouraging teachers. I enjoy my time at school there and look forward to seeing the people there. The teachers show true passion for their subjects and are very supportive. My English teachers have inspired me to set high goals for the future and have helped me work towards them.
