Our district provides exceptional opportunities for student success. With 26 Advanced Placement® (AP) courses, Bryant allows students to experience rigorous, college-level coursework while still in high school. These courses span a wide range of subjects, enabling students to pursue personal interests or fulfill college prerequisites. After completing the course, students take the AP exam, and by achieving qualifying scores, they can earn valuable college credit, giving them a head start on higher education.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. For the third year, our district is participating in the #GoGold campaign.
All Hornets are asked to #GoGold on Friday, September 27. Wear gold clothing/accessories or wear a gold ribbon. We are asking students to donate $1 and staff to donate $2. All donations will be given to Arkansas Children’s Hospital Hematology/Oncology Child Life Department to support children with cancer and their families.

At Bryant Schools, our students can find countless opportunities to grow and excel in our classrooms, programs, and organizations. Recently, Bryant High School seniors Matthew Hanks and Jackson Koon were named National Merit semifinalists; an honor shared by only 134 Arkansas high school seniors.
While we celebrate the hard work and motivation it took to achieve this feat, we also want to celebrate the students that Matthew and Jackson have proved to be. They each have diverse interests and are involved in a variety of activities at Bryant High School and in the community. They have also expressed their future goals and aspirations, involving work in STEM and an appreciation for languages and travel. Here at Bryant, we are proud of the high levels of achievement we see each day, but we are also proud of the community our staff and students create.
Our hope is to inspire Bryant students to BE BOLD, BE BRAVE, and BE BRYANT with every opportunity; showing the world what it looks like when Hornets strive for excellence!
