Each class is taught by an experienced, educated team consisting of a lead teacher and qualified staff.

Therapy Dog Information

Brighton has a therapy dog in each of its 9 schools. At Tot Spot, we have Henry as our therapy dog. Henry is an Australian Shepherd who turned 5 in August of 2023. Henry is named after Brighton High School Senior Class Principal Henry Vecchioni, who retired in 2019, after 28 years in the district. Henry Vecchioni dedicated his life to Brighton Schools making a huge impact on staff and students. We are so lucky to have Henry (the dog) as part of our Brighton Area School family! He spends most of his days in different classrooms, but spends his break in the office relaxing and taking as many pets as he can get!
