Bryant Middle School was constructed in 1953 and sits on 16 acres of land.

Under the 2026 transformational bond, Bryant and Haigh Elementary would be combined into a new preschool through eighth grade building on the Bryant campus. Estimated cost: $130,536,522. For an overview, see the one-page Bryant flyer.

Haigh in the short term would be kept to use as swing space. Students from other schools could be moved there while their own school is undergoing extensive renovations. After the bond is completed, the school could be used for other district programs.

About PK-8 schools  

Creating preschool through eighth grade buildings will allow students and families to form strong bonds while remaining in their neighborhood school for much longer. Elementary and middle school students would be separated for classes, meals, recess, lineup, and dismissal, but all students could use special spaces like STEM labs, music rooms, and gymnasium-auditoriums. An ADA accessible pool would also be included and a turf athletic field. 

Students and families would benefit from staying in the same neighborhood school for up to 10 years – from free GSRP preschool through eighth grade.
