Branham is a diverse and comforting campus. As the walk you do not see people seperated into different groups;consequently, they are merged and no one feels left out. Personally, my family was facing struggles not having the technology at home that was needed. Branham heard me out! They annually have the "make a wish" rally and I along with many others were granted gifts that were very much needed. Branham allows supports their students and make sure they do not miss opportunities simply because of money. Not only do they help money wise but emotionally as well.Branham has great staff that are always checking up on you. Even with distance learning we have a specific teacher that checks up on us once a week. Overall, Branham has great staff and an amazing support system.
I took part in various activities at Branham Highschool: marching band, student government, ROTC, and several clubs. The campus is very diverse and spirited. The school is filled with the kindest and most caring teachers and staff. There are countless clubs and organizations on campus; essentially every hobby out there has a club for it! Branham allows students to take on leadership roles by actively participating in clubs or creating their own club.
Branham High School has the sweetest and most interactive teachers! I love the classroom environment. My one main issue is the constant construction taking place on campus which makes it hard to get from one place to another. The student diversity is really great with many clubs to make you feel included at all times. Safety-wise, I have gotten chased onto campus, but atleast the staff was very helpful. I've only tried my friends' school food making me always bring my own lunch.
