Dear Brandon School District Community,
 
It is with a saddened heart that we inform you that Brandon High School senior, AJ Basirico, passed away this past weekend.  Please help us in keeping his family and friends in your thoughts as they grieve their loss.  We believe there will be a private immediate family viewing on Thursday with a memorial service planned for August.
 
Please be aware that if you or any Brandon student needs help through this grieving process and would like to talk to one of our mental health professionals, such as counselors, social worker or psychologist; they are available for you and for our students.  Please share this information with those who may need the support of these professionals.
