Brandon is full of year-round events. Brandon's organizations sponsor several of events that occur with their own schedules along with annual events. Brandon is home to Neshobe Elementary school (Pre-K to 6) and Otter Valley Union High School (7-12). Before the Union High School was constructed, local students attended Brandon High School. Brandon High School was built in 1916 but the school had been in operation since the 19th century. Brandon High School closed in 1961 when Otter Valley Union High School opened. The time that Brandon High School closed was during a wave of consolidation that swept rural areas during the second half of the 20th century. There have since been efforts to convert the old school building into apartments or condominiums. Beginning in the spring of 2017, a project named "Segment 6" was initiated, promising "improved streetscape, new traffic pattern, buried wires, better parking, beautiful parks, modern and safe downtown sidewalks, benches, decorative streetlights, and a 21st century underbelly." Project plans released by the state of Vermont acknowledge that there is "Significant concern raised by the business owners on US Route 7 for parking and flow of traffic during construction."
