Wellington High School senior Olivia Brand is involved in many activities at school including SCCDAT (Sumner County Community Drug Action Team), National Honors Society and more. She’s also a member of the varsity tennis team. But she has a passion for SCCDAT and has served in the program for several years.

“I became involved with SCCDAT around three years ago when I became a freshman,” said Brand. “I have always loved SCCDAT and knew I wanted to join as soon as I heard about it. I love the ways we are involved in our community and are able to help. I play tennis for Wellington High School and try to be involved in as much as possible. Aside from SCCDAT, I am a member of National Honors Society, SADD, and student council.”

Brand encourages other students to step up and join a club that can truly make a difference in their community.

“If I could give a student wanting to join this program advice, I would say do it and be as active in it as possible. I have learned so much from SCCDAT and have made some amazing friends through it. It is a great way to give back to your community,” said Brand.

Her future plans include graduating from Wellington, finishing her associates degree this summer through Cowley Community College and attending Wichita State University next fall.
