"Brandon is the epitome of kindness, sincerity, and respect. I have personally witnessed his regard for his peers, and I’ve never seen him have a bad day in three years. Brandon can make anyone smile. I heard a tale that Brandon voluntarily stayed back to clean the football locker room when all the others left. Brandon works hard at everything he does. He loves and respects people, and it shows. We have too little of that today.  He is an amazing young man." - Mrs. Liz Terry
