History

Brandon High School has used four buildings: The first was built in 1912 in Ortonville. [5]

Harvey-Swanson Elementary was built as Brandon High School in 1957. [6] The architect was Neal B. Smith of Royal Oak. [7]

A high school was built at 300 South Street in 1972. It became overcrowded within ten years. [8] It is no longer used by the school district.

Construction of the current Brandon High School was completed in 1982, but voters rejected a millage to fund its operation. [9] It was not until January 1984 that the district was financially able to open the new building. [10]
