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.
Despite flaws among clubs and parent involvement, Branham High School hosts some of the most influential staff I've ever encountered. It's unfortunate that the CUHSD doesn't pay these staff a sufficient amount considering its financially-demanding location in Silicon Valley; however, the school's diversity and emphasis on college readiness is motivating enough to give it 4/5 stars.
Diversity is something that adolescents across the nation not only deserve to be exposed to, but is considerably essential in their understanding of others and the ever-changing world that surrounds them. In my experience, Branham provided an emphasis in the understanding of others through various rallies and the teachers who conducted their class's material.
In terms of college readiness, the teachers and staff were extremely helpful in providing their experiences in their educational path as well as resources that contributed to students' preparation as they headed out into their educational abyss.

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.
