Hey, you a new kid here? How many times does a Brandon student ask this question? Walking through the halls, sitting in class, or scoping during lunch, the average student spies a new student once a week. In just three short years Brandon has grown to become the largest junior high school in its system. Brandon students, almost 2,000 strong, come in every size, shape, color, and description. We have some who are huge sitting beside others who are extremely petite. Some students excel in general academics, others in athletics, music, forensics, and the various art forms. We have natural leaders and natural followers. It is this wide range of individual characteristics exhibited by our stu- dent body that gives Brandon its strength and character. No matter how divergent our students, each one contributes to the overall ex- cellence demonstrated here. Our major strength is in our differences. The healthy interaction fostered at our school helps to build a strong foundation for life. Students with different backgrounds, ethnic and cultural heritages and interests, working together, build not only an excellent school environment, but also learn from one another to become quality citizens. 1 'YQ is ' .
