Today, the Bryant Sports Medicine team rehearsed emergency response procedures as part of our annual Emergency Action Plan training, practicing everything from emergency equipment removal to cold water immersion protocols.
We were also grateful to partner with athletic trainers and emergency responders from Benton, Bauxite, and Harmony Grove. Training together helps ensure we're prepared to respond quickly and effectively whenever student-athlete safety is on the line.
Thank you to everyone who participated and for your continued commitment to keeping our athletes safe!

Five Bryant students, led by Jessica Wilson, represented our district on the national stage, with three earning semifinalist honors among the best in the country.
Xoe Hawkins, an incoming senior, was a semifinalist and placed 9th in the nation in Exploring Support Service Careers.
Michaela Dixon (Class of 2026) and Aubrie Copeland (incoming senior) were semifinalists and placed 10th in the nation in the Outstanding Chapter Award competition.
We are incredibly proud of all five students for representing Bryant with excellence!

In this role, Tisha will help advise the Office of Early Childhood on policies and initiatives that support high-quality early learning across Arkansas, helping ensure young children have the strongest possible start.
Tisha has served as Bryant's Pre-K Director for the last 5 years. We are #BryantProud to see Tisha's expertise and dedication to early childhood education recognized at the state level.

What began as cheering on his daughters from the sidelines grew into a lifelong passion for capturing the moments that define Bryant Athletics. Through his camera lens, Rick preserved countless memories—from championship celebrations to quiet moments of determination—that families, coaches, athletes, and our community will treasure for years to come.
Rick's talent earned statewide recognition, including First Place awards from the Arkansas Associated Press Managing Editors and the Saline Courier, along with membership in the prestigious Sports Shooter community. Yet, those who knew Rick will remember him most for his kindness, humor, and unwavering support of Bryant students.
His photographs continue to line the halls of the Bryant Hornet Football Field House, serving as a lasting reminder of the pride, tradition, and excellence he so beautifully captured.
Thank you, Rick, for sharing your gift with Bryant Athletics and for preserving our story one photograph at a time. Your legacy will continue to inspire generations of Hornets.
Forever a Hornet.
In Memoriam
