All athletes must have a completed physical on file in the Athletic Office in order to practice or tryout for teams. Please see www.brandonblackhawks.org for more information. COVID-19 Update: As other schools surrounding us start to shut down due to COVID outbreaks, we have been fortunate that the Brandon School District is one of the very few in the state to remain open for face-to-face instruction since the beginning of the school year. This is a tribute to our students, staff and community. In order for this to continue, please be cautious over Spring Break practicing all social distancing standards so that our students can come back stronger than ever on April 5th. As always, if your student is showing any signs or symptoms of COVID, please let Brandon High School know and keep your student home.
