Bryant High School

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Thanks to the BHS Student Senate, 50 children will receive toys and clothing through the Salvation Army Adopt-a-Child program. The Senate sponsors the annual program, which provides clubs, teams and staff members with the opportunity to serve families in the district. 🎄🎅🏻🎁

Bryant High School FCCLA recently competed in Region 6 STAR Events (Students Taking Action with Recognition). Of the 12 BHS teams competing, 11 teams made it to state in April.
