Bryant Public Schools

Bryant High School FCCLA recently competed in Region 6 STAR Events (Students Taking Action with Recognition). Of the 12 BHS teams competing, 11 teams made it to state in April. This is the most students Bryant has had competing at one time, and the most teams advancing from all of Region 6 FCCLA this year.

Congratulations to Sabian Murry, Class of 2023 President, for representing Bryant Schools at the Arkansas School Boards Association (ABSA) Conference! Sabian was the 3rd place winner of the 2022 ASBA Student Speaker Contest and received a $500 check!

Everyone Can Code: Learning Together Brenda Qualls, BHS Computer Science teacher, welcomed students from the Arkansas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired recently. Bryant students worked alongside the guests to code a program in java. The ASBVI students shared information about the devices they use for coding such as an audio screen reader and the BrailleNote Touch. It was a great learning experience for both groups of students!
