We are pleased to announce the Class of 2024 Graduation ceremony will continue as planned for Saturday, May 18 at War Memorial Stadium beginning at 10am. We look forward to celebrating our Bryant High School graduates!
Due to conflicting weather reports, we have decided to postpone the decision about the location of the Class of 2024 graduation ceremony until Friday morning at 9am. We hope to have a more accurate forecast at that time allowing us to make a final decision. As soon as information is available, we will communicate with our graduates, parents and community.
While we have an alternate weather plan in place, it is possible to move the ceremony to a later time at War Memorial Stadium if needed.
As a reminder, the following is the alternate plan in case weather makes it necessary to move the ceremony indoors to Hornet Arena:
Each student will receive 8 guest tickets. Tickets will be distributed electronically through student email addresses. Seating will be general admission. Students will not be provided assigned seats for their families/guests. The ceremony times are as follows:
10am: Graduates with last names A-F
1pm: Graduates with last names G-M
4pm: Graduates with last names N-Z
Please note each ceremony will be live streamed. Links will be shared prior to the ceremonies.

It’s a wrap on our #SummerCerealDrive! During the month of April, Bryant Schools collected cereal for Arkansas Foodbank and our local pantries.
THV11's Tom Brannon visited Bethel Middle School today as they celebrated collecting 175 breakfast items. The students who donated the most cereal tossed water balloons at Tom, principal Donaven Sims, and Asst. Principal Brian Nivens. It was all in good fun for a great cause!
Congratulations to Bryant Elementary School which collected the most donations—383 items. In total, our district donated over 700 boxes of cereal to our community. Great job, Hornets!
