Bryant High School has earned the College Board AP® Computer Science Female Diversity Award for achieving high female representation in AP Computer Science. This honor recognizes the outstanding work BHS is doing to engage more female students in computer science.
Schools honored with the AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award have expanded girls’ access in AP computer science courses. Research shows that female students who take #APCSP in high school are more than five times as likely to major in computer science in college. Providing female students with access to computer science courses is critical to ensuring gender parity in the industry’s high-paying jobs and to driving innovation, creativity, and representation.
We are #BryantProud to create this opportunity for success!

BHS art teacher Katherine Purcell is passionate about engaging her students.
In her 3D design and sculpture classes students created animations using the Stop Motion Studio and iMovie apps on their new iPads. They began by creating a storyboard to plan out their animations. They worked individually or in groups of two and were required to make their animations at least 10 seconds long (120 pictures) and to add sound using iMovie.
