🔥 TOGETHER, WE DID IT! 🔥
What started as a vision became reality thanks to the collaboration of school districts, elected officials, the Bryant and Benton Chambers, community leaders, and businesses.
In 2018, Saline County voters approved a 3/8 cent sales tax to build the Saline County Career Technical Campus—a $43.5 million bond projected to be paid off in 2031. But in 2025, it’s already PAID IN FULL — 6 YEARS EARLY! That means the 3/8 cent sales tax officially ends on October 1, 2025.
The Bond Burning Ceremony marked more than just financial success—it celebrated an investment in our students and our future workforce.
Since opening in 2021, the ASU Three Rivers Saline County CTE Center has welcomed 2,000+ students, with students earning certifications in welding, medical professions, construction, manufacturing, HVAC, automotive, and more. Our Bryant students are being trained for future success.
This is what happens when a community comes together. #SalineCountyProud #BryantProud
