New Junior Senior High School Opens

In September 2011, the residents of Brandon, Rowley and Independence passed a bond vote with nearly 70% approval to construct a new $27.5 M Jr./Sr. High School Facility.

The building opened for the 2013-2014 school year. Since then, the building and surrounding campus has become the center for athletics, art, music and educational functions throughout the region. We host sub-state soccer, wrestling, basketball, Jazz band, Speech and many activities.
