Ten Bryant campuses named as Capturing Kids’ Hearts® National Showcase Schools for 2024-2025

Bryant Public Schools has been named a 2024-2025 Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase Schools® District, a prestigious recognition that highlights the district’s commitment to building strong relationships, promoting student well-being, and creating safe, supportive learning environments.

This award is a testament to the exceptional implementation of the Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH) Process across the district. In the 2017-18 school year, Bryant Public Schools introduced its teachers and staff to the CKH processes from the Flippen Group. Schools implemented methods to foster welcoming and creative learning environments. Through this intentional and heart-led approach, Bryant educators and staff have demonstrated what it means to lead with empathy, build meaningful connections, and empower every student to succeed.

“We are honored to be recognized as a Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase District,” said Dr. Karen Walters, Superintendent of Bryant Public Schools. “This distinction celebrates the dedicated efforts of our staff who put students first every day.”

In addition to the district-level recognition, ten Bryant campuses have been individually named as Capturing Kids’ Hearts® National Showcase Schools for 2024-2025:

  • Bryant Jr. High School

  • Bryant Middle School

  • Collegeville Elementary School

  • Hill Farm Elementary School

  • Hurricane Creek Elementary School
