For Draven – the oldest Sandifer
brother – Redstone is his first and
only job. He began working at Decatur
High as a student and is now a part-
time member service representative
(MSR) at Calhoun's college branch
while he earns an associate degree.
"I was able to work at Redstone
without having to worry about who
would pick up my brothers since I was
their transportation," Draven said.
Because he works and takes classes
at Calhoun, he doesn't have long and
busy commutes from school to work.
He hopes to transfer to Auburn in
the fall and major in pharmacy.
His younger brother Satchel graduated
from Decatur High in May 2021
and is now a student at Tuskegee
University, majoring in architecture.
Satchel was Student of the Year and
played second chair trumpet for
the school's marching band. He still
found time to work in the high school
branch and is so glad that he did.
At Decatur High School, working as a Redstone student teller counts as a finance
class. For Draven Sandifer and his two brothers, it's meant much more than a class
grade. It's been a learning experience that they have all shared since the student
branch opened in 2018.
