H. Frank Carey High School sophomore Brandon Szeles has been named the November Carey Character Award recipient.

Brandon has been volunteering in the school library for the past two years during his lunch period. He is always willing to help the library staff with any task. This year, seeing the overwhelming need, Brandon has made himself available to assist his peers, providing iPad support. In doing so, he has shown initiative, leadership and concern for his fellow students.

He spends his time troubleshooting and instructing the students in a calm and organized manner. He guides them to ensure success. Whether a student is having a bad day or just needs some words of encouragement, he is always willing to lend a sympathetic ear. Brandon, in his humble and thoughtful manner, has proven to be a valuable asset to the library, the school and students. He is an example of what the Carey community represents.
