Teach For America South Carolina (TFASC) is pleased to welcome Brandon Johnson to its advisory board for a three-year term. As an alumnus of TFASC, he will provide strategic counsel and support to its evolving goals and expanding programs that will reach more students and communities in the future.
In 2014, Johnson was placed by TFASC to teach at Palmetto Middle School in the Marion County School District. In this role, he served as the math department chair, and his students had a 100 percent pass rate on the Algebra One End-of-Course Examination. From 2017 to 2020, Johnson was an assistant principal at McCracken Middle School in the Spartanburg School District Seven. Currently, he serves as an assistant principal at Eastside High School in the Greenville County School District.
Given his interest in public policy, Johnson founded We Are The Change SC, a nonprofit organization linking individuals to the necessary educational information and resources to close the achievement gap.
He received a bachelor’s degree in athletic training from the University of South Carolina and a master’s degree in educational leadership and administration from Coastal Carolina University.
With the addition of Johnson, 11 leaders serve on TFASC’s advisory board. For a complete list of TFASC’s advisory board members, visit tfasc.org/who-we-are/advisory-board.
