Ortega’s Oration

Dear Bryan High Community,


Happy February to all our Bryan High Bears! We have certainly hit the ground running since January and are continuing this month as we progress towards Spring and the end of this academic year. Our seniors are focused on finishing the semester strong and graduating on May 25, while freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are also finishing strong and are in the process of selecting exciting courses and programs of study for next year!


As a school known for strong inclusive practices, we offer something for everyone at Bryan High. We are proud to say that students in our advanced academic offerings are representative of our school’s demographics. With over 35 courses in Advanced Placement (AP) and/or Dual Enrollment (DE), we encourage all students to challenge themselves and to consider these opportunities.


We also offer five career and college academies with multiple pathways for all students. The skills learned in any of our academies are transferable to any career your student may choose later in life. Stop by or call to visit with our school counselors and learn more about your senior’s graduation status or our programs of study for your freshman, sophomore, or junior.


#TogetherBetter #WeAreBryan

Go Bears!

Dr. Ortega, Principal
