BHS Internship Program
The internship program is a cooperative effort between the school and business partners in the community. The student receives training and experience through part-time employment, internships, and/or volunteer work. Seniors who participate in this program take regular courses in high school in order to meet all graduation requirements along with working, interning or volunteering a minimum of 10 hours per week. Internship is designed to assist students in their specific career focus areas and gain work skills and experience to help them successfully transition from school to career. All students will benefit from this course regardless of their chosen career path.
Concurrent Classes
Bryant High School has partnerships with local universities to offer students courses to satisfy high school requirements and gain college-level experiences and credits with minimal cost. Students must sign up and apply for concurrent credit. Students must take the ACT exam in the spring semester and achieve the required score before enrolling in a concurrent class for the next year. Students can graduate with up to 75 hours of college credit from the BHS campus. The Saline County Career Technical Campus also offers concurrent credit for its programs.
Students who are eligible to enroll in concurrent credit courses can have the cost of their course tuition covered by the Arkansas Concurrent Credit Challenge Scholarship. The Arkansas Concurrent Credit Challenge Scholarship will cover up to six credit hours per semester - usually two high school classes. Speak to your counselor for more information.
College and Career Readiness (CCR) Tools
Bryant uses a number of CCR tools to engage students in the college and career planning process. The platforms provide online resources for students to develop and modify their Student Success Plan, explore and research post-secondary, career pathways, take career and strengths assessments, create a resume, and access scholarship applications.
