Thank you for your assistance with the change in the parking structure at the MS/HS building to accommodate the upcoming construction process.
Since this change we have noticed student drop-offs and pick-ups happening in various, non-designated, locations around the building.
Please ONLY drop students off utilizing the front (south) "drop off loop" to ensure student safety, to avoid our busing traffic and eventual construction traffic, and to allow for proper traffic flow during arrival and dismissal times.
You may drop off students anywhere along the sidewalk indicated by the blue line on the map.
Every student deserves a therapist they can relate to.
We’ve partnered with Hazel to offer bilingual therapy in over 19 languages, ensuring all students enrolled at Bryan City Schools can match with a licensed therapist who understands their culture and language.
In therapy your child will gain the tools to succeed in school and in life:
✓ Improve communication and confidence
✓ Enhance coping skills
✓ Build healthy relationships
If you have questions about utilizing these services for your child, please reach out to:

On April 16th, the combined efforts of the Williams County EMS and other supporting agencies, those who would come to an accident scene such as utility workers, tow truck operators and a local funeral home, held a Mock Crash at the Williams County Fairgrounds. Our juniors and seniors attended this event and two seniors, Mason Welling and Dominic Malanga were actors in the scenario. The goal of the Mock Crash is to stress the realities and dangers of impaired driving, distracted driving and the importance of safe driving. Here are some images from the event:
Some people have skeletons in the closet, while we have them in the hallways. Mrs. Elser's Anatomy and Physiology I classes have been working hard on their final skeleton projects and has lined the 2nd floor HS hallway with them so students may vote on them. The top 4 skeletons will earn some extra credit. There are a number of famous people, cartoon characters and even a current HS English teacher on the walls. Students are encouraged to walk around the 2nd floor HS hall and decide which skeleton they like the most and then vote for that skeleton. Each skeleton is unique and has a number taped to it for the voting. Students will be able to vote through Tuesday, April 22nd. Here are the skeletons:
