📣 NEW ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT BRYANT JUNIOR HIGH We are excited to welcome back former Hornet Tiffany Kent as she joins the Bryant Junior High team in a new leadership role — Assistant Principal! Mrs. Kent began her career in the Bryant School District in 2013 at Bryant Middle School, where she taught both science and math before serving as the building math interventionist. After over a decade of dedication to Bryant, she briefly stepped away to gain valuable administrative experience — an opportunity that further fueled her passion for leadership. Mrs. Kent holds a bachelor’s degree from Arkansas Tech University, a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of Central Arkansas, and an Education Specialist degree in Educational Leadership from Arkansas State University. Now, she’s back and ready to serve every Hornet, every day at Bryant Junior High! Her mission is to support students and teachers, create opportunities for success, and build strong partnerships with families and the community. Outside of school, Mrs. Kent and her husband Adam stay busy with their three daughters — Ivie (3rd grade), Sylvie (starting Kindergarten), and Jovie (1.5 years old). Help us give a warm Hornet welcome to Mrs. Kent!
