Today we celebrate and honor the incredible custodial team at Bryant Public Schools. From early mornings to late nights, our custodians work tirelessly to keep our campuses clean, safe, and welcoming for students, staff, and families.
Your hard work often happens behind the scenes, but it makes a BIG impact every single day. Thank you for taking pride in our schools and for the care you put into every hallway, classroom, and campus. We couldn’t do it without you!
Help us show some #HornetPride — drop a “thank you” below for our amazing custodians!
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

Be Bold. Be Brave. Be Bryant: Answering The Call
At Collegeville Elementary, being bold and brave means stepping up when students need you most. In July, the school faced a sudden need for a Special Education teacher: and Gina Milam answered the call.
“It was a hard one, in a way, because I didn’t wanna leave my team,” Milam said. “But those CBI babies, I really needed someone to step in and take that place. I already had the license to do it, so I wanted to try something new and be there for those kids.”
“Seeing those babies smile and light up and having someone there for them, and then also just seeing the growth they’ve already made in this school year—it’s been really fun,” she shared. “We just kind of formed this wonderful team—me and my three wonderful paras. We tackle all the challenges together to make those kids feel loved and appreciated.”
Assistant Principal Justin Leaton said her decision perfectly embodies this year’s district mantra. “Gina has really showcased ‘Be Bold, Be Brave, Be Bryant’ from the beginning this year. Starting off, we had a need in the CBI classroom, and she was anxious to jump in that role. That’s not the easiest thing to do, coming from a regular classroom into the special education world, but she embraced the challenge wholeheartedly.”
“She’s meeting every student where they are, to do what’s best for them,” Leaton added. “That’s our mission here at Collegeville—love, learn, and grow together—and Gina has done that wholeheartedly from day one.”
Superintendent Karen Walters delivered peanut butter to Hill Farm and Davis Elementary today as we begin wrapping up the #SaltBowl Peanut Butter Drive. Pick up a extra jar this weekend—you can donate to any school in the district through Tuesday, September 30. Donations will first stock our school food pantries, then be shared with community pantries.
Which school will collect the most? Announcement coming next week! 💙
