What an incredible season for our Bryant Unified Basketball Team! The Hornets finished as State Runner-Up today at the Hot Springs Convention Center, representing Bryant Public Schools with pride, determination, and heart.
Unified basketball brings together students of all abilities to compete as teammates, celebrating inclusion, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Our Hornets embodied those values every step of the way, earning their place in the championship game through hard work and dedication.
We are so proud of our athletes, coaches, and supporters. Thank you for showing what it means to be a Hornet and for representing Bryant on the state stage.
Congratulations on an outstanding season, Hornets!

The conversation focused on supporting Governor Sanders’ “Three E’s” initiative—Education, Employment, and Empowerment—and exploring ways the Guard and Bryant Schools can collaborate to create opportunities for students.
During his visit, General Bridges also spoke with students in the Air Force JROTC program, sharing what the military looks for in future leaders: character, commitment, and confidence. Students had the opportunity to ask questions about military service and career paths available through the armed forces.
We appreciate General Bridges taking time to invest in our students and look forward to continued collaboration that opens doors for their future. ⭐🇺🇸
This week, we’re proud to celebrate #NationalSchoolSocialWorkWeek by honoring one of the very best — Lisa McNeely! 💙
Lisa has been serving students and families in Bryant for 21 years. Lisa chose social work because she enjoys working directly with people and building meaningful human connections. She is passionate about improving lives, advocating for fairness, and helping families navigate difficult life transitions — from accessing resources to supporting child welfare and addressing homelessness.
As a school social worker, Lisa values being part of a team. She collaborates closely with parents, teachers, counselors, and administrators to support students and strengthen educational outcomes. For her, school social work is about relationships, teamwork, and building a strong, supportive school community.
We are so grateful for Lisa’s heart, compassion, and commitment to Bryant Public Schools and our Hornet families. Thank you for the difference you make every single day!
