We're super excited that Jordyn K. at our Birmingham campus is on target to graduate from Brightmont mid-March 2021. Jordyn has been accepted to Oakland University and Wayne State University. Jordyn plans to attend Oakland University to study Education.

Our recent events included a Valentine's cookie decorating contest and a donut bar at our Birmingham campus. In honor of National Hat Day, students and staff at our Redmond campus wore their favorite hats and enjoyed bagels! They also celebrated Student and Teacher Appreciation Day.
