Juneteenth celebrates the day when the last enslaved people in Texas learned they were free on June 19, 1865, nearly two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that declared all enslaved people in states that had seceded from the Union “shall be free” during the Civil War. In 2021, Juneteenth officially became a federal holiday in the United States after President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law.

Bryant Public Schools is excited to announce that Coach Quaderrick (Quad) Sanders has been selected to lead Hornet Nation as Head Football Coach. “We are so happy to have Coach Sanders come home to lead our football program. Quad was the first and best choice to continue Bryant’s success,” said Superintendent Karen Walters. The Bryant School board voted unanimously to hire Sanders at a special called board meeting on Wednesday, May 31.
Coach Sanders joined the Hornet football coaching team in 2018. During his tenure as defensive coordinator, the Hornets won five state championships, a record in the state's largest classification. He was the recipient of the 2022 Broyles award as Arkansas' top assistant high school coach.
Sanders left Bryant’s program in March to become the head coach of Jonesboro’s Golden Hurricane football. After learning of the Hornet Head Football Coach vacancy, Bryant’s incoming Athletic Director Kirk Bock reached out to Sanders. “Coach Sanders is respected and loved by both players and coaches,” said Bock. “As a colleague of Coach Sanders for the past five years, I can attest to the strong work ethic he will bring to the position and the program.”
Prior to his time at Bryant, Sanders was an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas-Monticello, McPherson College in Kansas and Western Colorado University. Sanders played football and basketball at the University of Central Arkansas and was later a graduate assistant with the football team.
