Bryant High School presents five performances of “Twelve Angry Jurors” November 4-6 at Love Auditorium. The venue is located in the Fine Arts Center on the Bryant High School campus. Twelve Angry Jurors will bring you to the edge of your seat and leave you struggling with the balance of justice in our country. A man is dead, his son on trial for his murder, and it is up to twelve flawed and frustrated citizens to decide his fate. Tickets are $10/adults and $5/students.

October is #NationalPrincipalsMonth. All month long, we’re celebrating our amazing principals at each of our schools. Our last principal to highlight is Dr. Todd Edwards, leader for six years at the high school. “I love seeing the achievements of our students at Bryant High School. Our students are amazing,” he says. FUN FACT: Dr. Edwards has worked for three school districts in his 32 years in education. The school colors for all three districts are blue and white. He has a ton of blue shirts. Thank you, Dr. Edwards for creating opportunities for success at Bryant High School! #BryantProud #ThankAPrincipal

Bryant Public Schools is committed to providing a safe environment for students, staff, and visitors. The district, along with each individual school, has developed comprehensive plans that cover a wide variety of emergencies and serves as a guide to help staff and our public safety partners respond swiftly should a crisis occur in our schools. These plans are reviewed and updated yearly. More info: https://www.bryantschools.org/page/safety-and-security-measures

Did you know the Bryant Public Schools mobile app has an anonymous tip line? Select "Hornet Tip Line" in the main menu.

According to Arkansas law, when a school bus stops and displays its alternating red warning lights for the purpose of loading or unloading passengers, every operator of a motor vehicle or motorcycle approaching the school bus from any direction must stop at least 30 feet behind a stopped school bus. For the sake of our students, stop when you see the flashing red lights. Let’s work together to make sure our students travel safely to and from school each day. #SchoolBusSafetyWeek #FlashingRedKidsAhead 🚍🛑

Fall days mean less daylight in the mornings and evenings, conditions which can limit visibility for bus drivers. Please review these reminders to increase safety at all bus stops. #SafeHornets #National SchoolBusSafetyWeek

Physical safety is important, but so is emotional safety. To feel emotionally safe, students need supportive relationships, the key to better learning experiences for all students. That’s why we place such importance on the processes of Capturing Kids’ Hearts. From door greetings, to sharing Good Things, to social contracts, we value creating positive learning environments. #CKH
