A school in San Jose which many people misconstrue as being ghetto. Most likely because it is not as rich and nice as other schools in the area, and possibly because it is somewhat near East San Jose. In all honestly there are only a few schools in San Jose that can be termed as "ghetto", but even then it does not compare to places like Oakland or East Palo Alto.
Kid 1:Hey I go to a ghetto school in San Jose called Branham.
Kid 2: Isn't San Jose every year voted near the top of the safest cities in America?
Kid 1: True, but we don't get as much funding as other schools, and our school is 20 percent Hispanic (70 percent white,10 percent Asian), and if you go down Branham Lane (the street Branham High is on) for like 5 miles it turns into East San Jose so it must be a ghetto school.

Words you can keep
Who ever wrote the other definitions needs his/her diaper changed.

1) A high school in San Jose ran by a unique staff, weird as hell at times, some of them are kinda shitty teachers but for the most part they fuckin try at least.
2) The rock was a senior prank, it's a tradition now. Get used to it.
3) Like any other highschool it has jocks, gangsters emos, goths, sluts, nerds, etc. So fucking get over the fact we're diverse.
4) Who ever wrote the other definitions is a cock sucking little shit fuck, that doens't know how fucking good he/she has it.
5) Cheerleaders are just some girls trying to do what every one else does. So get the fuck off their backs.
6)The girls at branham are a little shallow but so is everyone else.
7) Branham is better than Pioneer or Leigh, fuck those schools.
8)If you think it's such a shitty school, do something about it.
Branham is better than you.
A school full of posers and people who actually being "popular" matters. The football team acts like they are gods and lord over all others who oppose their actions, although they barely win 1 to 2 games a season. All other sports teams that actually win do not get recognized, especially those not recognized as sports. 99% percent of the dudes at this school are fucking assholes while the other 1% are gay. There is some overlap.
"wow the Branham football team sucks"

7) Old crust bathrooms with toilets that spray you and doors that dont close with ants on the toilet seats

9) 80% of the girl population are dirty sluts, or wannabe dirty sluts, 10% of the girls wont get a first date until their late 40's, and the last 10% are nice girls like us that just get walked all over by the players and jerks.

brian branham 

a brave individual with lots of self-confidence and an abundance of talent. So much so that he is above most others but he is humble and down to earth. In fact for the most part he is not aware of his greatness and is as normal as the next guy. To know a Brian Branham is a gift and should be announced to all.
That guys name should be Brian Branham I cant believe his name is.......
