Bryant High School and United Community Open House and Block Party |
Join us in celebrating our staff next week during Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week - May 4-8. We are grateful to have such caring and dedicated staff members!
Greetings Bryant Families!
What another incredible week! We have so much to celebrate as we head into the home stretch of the school year.
Our Class of 2026 took center stage this week as we cheered on their future plans. On Thursday, students personalized graduation caps with their post-grad goals, and today, the energy was high as they decorated Decision Day t-shirts and enjoyed some well-earned frozen treats. We are so proud of their hard work and can’t wait to see where their journeys lead!

The end of the year is truly when our students shine, showcasing the skills and creativity they’ve built all year long. A big shout-out to Dr. Waddell’s Construction Technology classes, who spent the semester crafting beautiful Adirondack chairs and stools to create a new seating area. For their end-of-year project, they are building a children’s playhouse for the United Community daycare, talk about building a legacy!
Lastly, next week is Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week! Our educators and staff go above and beyond every day. Please join us in showering them with gratitude by sending notes or emails of thanks. We’ll also have a gratitude station set up each day during lunch so students can write their own "thank you" messages.
Let’s keep this amazing momentum going!
Take Care
Cindy Conley
Principal
