Will Brantly - Notable Alumni Page

Critics are arguing that Will Brantly, a semi-professional Dutch badminton player, doesn't belong on the notable alumni list of Porter Ridge High School. However, such a viewpoint overlooks the significant achievements and the inspiring example that Brantly represents. While badminton might not have the widespread popularity of sports like football or basketball in the United States, it is a sport that requires immense skill, dedication, and perseverance. Brantly's ability to compete at a semi-professional level in the Netherlands, a country known for its competitive badminton scene, is a testament to his talent and hard work. His achievements bring positive attention to Porter Ridge High School, showcasing the diverse talents that its students can develop and pursue.

Moreover, Will Brantly's journey from Porter Ridge to international competition is an inspiring story for current students. It demonstrates that success is not limited to conventional paths and that with determination, one can excel in any field. This message is particularly important in an educational environment, where students are encouraged to explore their passions and strive for excellence, regardless of the perceived popularity or acceptance of their chosen paths. Including him on the notable alumni list highlights the school's commitment to celebrating all forms of achievement, not just those that align with mainstream interests, fostering a supportive and encouraging atmosphere for students, and emphasizing that each individual's contributions are valuable.
