Brabrand is a city 7 km west of Århus which became part of Århus in 1970. South of the city lies the lake "Brabrand Sø", which is the largest recreational area of the County of Århus. The city was founded in the 18th century by means of burning the forest (the name reflects this), initially based mainly on farmers and associated trades.
The city has three distinct districts: Old town to the south by the lake mainly made up of single-family houses. Industrial areas by Edwin Rahrs Vej to the north, and in the eastern end the infamous Gellerup area.
Brabrand, 37, replaces Linda Thomson, who recently took a position as a principal at a high school in her native Florida.
Brabrand said he wants to be a principal who is visible not only at the school but also in the community.
Brabrand, who speaks fluent Spanish, said he also wants to make sure minority student achievement, especially that of African American and Hispanic students, is at the highest level.
