🇺🇸 An Honor to Begin the Year 🇺🇸
At our Back-to-School Convocation, we were deeply honored to be led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Retired United States Air Force Captain Floyd Brantley.
Born in 1925, Captain Brantley’s life is a remarkable story of service, sacrifice, and perseverance—from serving as a Navy corpsman in World War II, to flying in Korea with the Air Force, to devoting decades to education and publishing. With 23 years of military service and a lifetime of impact, he continues to inspire us all.
We are grateful to have Captain Brantley as part of our Conway community and thankful for the example he sets for our students and staff. ❤️💙
