Ortega’s Oration
Dear Bryan High Community,
As we reach the final days for the 2021-2022 academic year, I would like to acknowledge the efforts made by our students, staff, and parents in the Bryan Senior High community during this year. I think we should all be proud of how we came together and made the best out of this year. My deepest thanks for everything you did to help make this school year a successful one.
I wish all our Bryan Senior families the absolute best for the summer and look forward to welcoming you all back, ready for what promises to be an enjoyable and productive year as we have taken additional implementation steps for next year to increase access to our new and exciting college and career academies for all students.
On behalf of the entire Bryan Senior High staff, we look forward to seeing all our students and families again in 2022-2023. The school administration offices will remain open throughout the summer period should you need to visit us.
I want to take one final opportunity to personally invite every one of you to our BIG 50 celebration on Sunday, May 1 from 1:00-4:00 PM. This celebration will commemorate our 50 years of educational excellence at Bryan Senior High and will be free and is open to all. We will have a variety of fun activities, entertainment, and cake and ice cream!
Thank you for your continued support and helping us make every remaining day count at Bryan Senior High!
#TogetherBetter #WeAreBryan
Go Bears!
Dr. Ortega, Principal
