This month, Spring Branch ISD (SBISD) is proud to launch a new feature that celebrates our student-athletes' remarkable achievements both on and off the field! Each month, we’ll highlight inspiring stories that showcase the incredible journeys of our talented students and their commitment to T-2-4.

This month, we shine a spotlight on Brandon Thornton, a senior outside linebacker at Spring Woods High School (SWHS), whose dual passions for flight and football are shaping his unique path to success. Also featured is Helen Rieke, a dynamic three-sport athlete at Memorial High School (MHS), making waves in volleyball, basketball, and lacrosse, while pursuing her dream of a career in communication and journalism.
