Academies in Action: Freshman Academy

Better Prepared Than Ever: In October, all Freshmen took the Pre-ACT. This marks the first time the district has provided this opportunity for 9th grade students to take the Pre-ACT exam. Students have since been reviewing their scores and planning for the next steps in their Advisement classes. At Bryan, we are committed to early academic assessment and college preparation.

Inaugural Academy Pledge Ceremony: Our Freshman Bears celebrated their first-ever Academy Pledge Ceremony, a pivotal moment as they looked ahead to sophomore year. At this event, they officially committed to one of our four Academies—Education; Urban Agriculture; Transportation, Distribution, and Logistics, or Design & Construction—and connected classroom learning to the real-world opportunities of tomorrow.

On January 30, we honored our Advanced Placement and Dual Enrolled students, our AP Scholars, and our top Pre-ACT scorers at our Annual Advanced Academics Ceremony. Congratulations to our amazing Bears who strive for academic success and growth every day! We are proud of you!
