A tight-knit community with a town full of kids with aspirations of becoming important. Brandon is a school who is willing to help those kids. With many option to obtain those goals Brandon has a diverse collection of oppertunities that vary for any kid who attends. Whether it be any STEM program, Musical/ Art, Sports, and Humanities. There are classes that can really change a student's perspective on what they want for their future. Though the school is not exposed to cultural differences, there are teachers who truly care to educate kids who want to explore whats beyond their own small quiet town. Brandon being a school with less than 1,000 kids gives them the freedom to explore what they may be intrested in while also being able to pursue and grow in those activities. Throughout the years, Brandon has always been known to be a close family of students, where they grow and learn together which inturn creates lasting friendships, hopeful futures, and lifelong memories.
I came from Pontiac to attend this school. At first it seemed as though the other student's were too nervous to speak with me, as if they associated me with a gang, my goodness. Then I started to open up and I made so many wonderful friends. I finally had an opportunity to try out for sports teams, and actually get on them! Brandon 100 percent gave me a better opportunity than Pontiac Central could have ever given me. I'll forever be grateful for them taking me in. ❤ Thank you so much for being School Choice and letting children from around the area have the same tools for success as the rest of the state!
I grew up in Ortonville so Brandon is all I know. I feel like progressively we stop caring about the spirit which is sad because we used to be so proud to wear our school colors. I wish some teachers would be more understanding- just like every other school. There are unique things about Brandon though that I like such as after announcements our principal says "go blue!" and when you are friends with a teacher, you are FRIENDS with the teacher. Like you aren't just liked by the teacher, you are now their friend and help with the class or you are the one to always make them laugh or who they rant to. Due to COVID, not many classes were offered, but for a public school we definitely have a lot more choices and more understandable when it comes to wanting to do the class online.
