History

The current building for William Jennings Bryan Senior High School was completed in 1971. The school was named after the Nebraska politician. Bryan's history, however, extends back to 1965 when the first students entered what is now the Bryan Middle School building. That building had been designed as a junior-senior high complex. It was from there that the first Bryan senior class graduated in 1968.

Omaha Public School District built the Bryan Senior High as part of the school complex to meet increasing enrollments.

Bryan High's current enrollment averages 1,700 students; there are approximately 90 faculty members.

25th anniversary and other changes

In 1993, the school celebrated its 25th anniversary with a time capsule for future students. The capsule was slated to be opened in 2018; The capsule was finally opened in 2022.

From 2000 to about 2005, Bryan went through some new renovations and additions. In 2004, the school had a new section built, along the south side, which houses four new classrooms. Four cottages (portables) are outside the NW of the building. In 2001, six more cottages were added to the NE side of the building. At that time a weight room was added to the upper gym, through the efforts of Dave and Carol Van Metre. [2] Currently the other side is used as a practice area by the wrestling team. In 2004 two additional cottages were added on the west side of the building.

As of about 2001, Bryan High became a member of the AOF (Academy of Finance).

The school was on a normal class schedule before the fall of 1994, with classes being year-long. Block scheduling (4 x 4) was then created, with a 13-minute "Advisement" at the start of the school day. Students attend four blocks and Advisement, per day. Four lunches run during 3rd block to accommodate student population. Each block is 90 minutes long. In August 2012, the schedule was changed to a Block schedule with A & B (alternative day) classes.

In 2007 Bryan High School added new trees along the front of the building and stones to sit on. The library also went through changes; a section was transformed into rooms for assistant principals, and its entryway was extended into double doors.
