Bryant Junior High math teacher and basketball coach Sontreka Johnson has earned her Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Assessment, Learning, and Student Success, with a concentration in Higher Education from Middle Tennessee State University.

Big news for current and future Hornets! 📣

Bryant High School is expanding its partnership with Arkansas State University Three Rivers to give students even more opportunities to succeed.

Starting with the Class of 2029, students can graduate with BOTH a high school diploma AND an Associate’s Degree—earning up to 60 college credit hours along the way. Current 9th-grade students will receive an email with an application link.

That means saving time, saving money, and getting a head start on the future. ⏱️💰🎓

Diploma + degree. Double the opportunity. #BryantProud #opp4success
