Ortega’s Oration

Dear Bryan High Community,

Welcome to May! In my final oration as the principal of Bryan High, I’d like to say THANK YOU! Thank you for welcoming me to Bear Country four years ago. Thank you for allowing me to serve your students and to play a small part in their educational journey. My time at Bryan High has been filled with pure joy and I will always cherish the memories made here. Together we have made many improvements in a short amount of time and Bryan High is well positioned for continued success in the future. I’d like to introduce you to the incoming principal, Mr. Anthony Clark-Kaczmarek, and invite you to join us for his “meet and greet” on Monday, May 8th at 5:30 PM in the school’s library.

As we close out this academic year, I once more want to let you know about tutoring for all grade levels on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We also offer 24/7 online tutoring in multiple languages, and we offer Senior Saturdays for additional support to seniors. Together we can ensure your student finishes this school year strong! Please stop by or give us a call if we can assist you or your student.

#TogetherBetter #WeAreBryan

Go Bears!

Dr. Ortega, Principal
