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]
