A Message from the Principal


Greetings Bryant Families!

Our students have officially begun the fourth quarter, and the finish line is in sight - just 45 days remaining for underclassmen and 29 days for our seniors. This is an important time to stay focused and finish strong. Please continue to encourage your child to attend school daily and complete assignments on time. Together, we can support every student in reaching their goals.

April is the Month of the Military Child, and Bryant is proud to be a Purple Star School. On Wednesday, April 15, we invite all students and staff to “Purple Up” by wearing purple in honor of our military-connected students and their families. We are grateful for the service and sacrifices of our Bryant military families.

On Thursday, April 16, students will participate in a Career Fair featuring guest speaker and author Danielle Craddock. Each student will receive a signed copy of her book, Launchpad to Success: 21 Ways for Teens to Prepare for Their Dream Careers. In addition, students will explore a variety of career pathways, connect with local professionals, attend breakout sessions, and receive a $20 Uber gift card for participating. We encourage you to ask your student about what they learned and which careers sparked their interest.

Take Care!

Cindy Conley

Principal
