Principal's Message

Jeanne Terry-Byrd, Principal

Welcome to Brandon Success Center, home of the Panthers! I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to serve as principal as I enter my fifth year here at BSC. At Brandon Success Center, we are a non-traditional school with traditional ways leading students to success.
Our faculty and staff are committed to fostering life-long learning through a focus on behavioral management, empowering students to "Define You Now"! We believe it's not what brought a student here that defines them, but how they choose to move forward and grow from this point on.

We look forward to working closely with both you and your child to make a lasting, positive difference—academically, behaviorally, and personally.

Together, let’s make success a reality!

Jeanne Terry-Byrd Ed.S, Principal
