I ve been here 27 years, and the one thing I can tell you is when I tell someone that I work at South Miami Senior High, they ll always ask, Is Branstetter still there? says Danny Lavandeira, the school s activities director. Everybody said he was the best and the greatest. He
is South Miami Senior High.
Branstetter s legacy lives on in the school s Wall of Fame, which he and Ferre filled with photos to honor students who made it big, and in the Little Theater, which bears his name.
A street near the school will soon be named after him, too.
