I moved to North Carolina from New York and Brogden will always have a special place in my heart. The staff was wonderful and I loved coming in everyday to work with the students. | I used to teach at Brogden Middle School (Social Studies 2008-2015) | I coached the Brogden Boys' Soccer team and we won the Durham Athletic Conference Tournament in 2015. That is one of my fondest memories. | Feb. 2019 |
I started my teaching career at Brogden right after graduating from college. I taught all grade levels and subjects and for my last 15 years there, I taught 7th grade science. | I taught all subjects and grade levels at Brogden for 30 years at Brogden | I have MANY fond memories at Brogden, where all of them consist of the wonderful people ( students, parents, and faculty that were a part of my life for those 30 years.) I am so Thankful for my experience there and Brogden will always be very special to me! | Feb. 2019 |
Parent | The new administration led by Dr. Lanier is extremely engaged and operating as a change-agent to enhance the Brogden experience. They have supported more extra-curricular activities with higher quality programming and greater student and family attendance than last year. I'm excited to see what comes next. | Feb. 2019 | |
Parent | Ms. Huber, who teaches chorus, guided my daughter's transformation from a non-singer into an enthusiastic on-stage performer. | Feb. 2019 | |
I'm a current sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania studying electrical engineering. | I attended from 2010-2013. | Brodgen was where I first started learning "real" math, and I absolutely loved my Algebra and Geometry classes in seventh and eighth grade. It was the first class I was ever in where I was treated like an adult, given all the information I needed but still left to think and problem-solve for myself. This mindset of problem solving based on a basic knowledge of the principles behind a topic has led me to love engineering and be studying it at an Ivy League school. | Feb. 2019 |
I am the Mayor of Durham and an ardent supporter of Brogden Middle School and of all our Durham Public Schools. | My son attended Brogden for middle school, and I coached boys and girls soccer there for several years | My son got a great education at Brogden, and I immensely enjoyed coaching soccer there every afternoon for several years. I started with my son's team needed a coach, and then I got hooked on Brogden and its students and teachers. The faculty was wonderful, and I loved the diversity of the student body. | Feb. 2019 |
B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Columbia University, May 2019 | Former student | My time at Brogden helped me develop the skills and mindset I’ve used both in my time at Columbia and during my internships. Brogden’s teachers fostered a love of learning in me that will never go away. | Feb. 2019 |
