History

The building for William Jennings Bryan Senior High School was completed in 1971. It 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 ninety faculty members.

25th anniversary and other changes

In 1993, the school celebrated its 25th Anniversary with a time capsule for future students. The capsule will be opened in 2018.

From 2000 to about 2005, Bryan went through some new renovations and additions. In 2004, the school had a new section built which houses 4 new classrooms. 4 cottages are outside the building on. In 2001, 6 more were added to the right side. At that time they added a weight room to the gym. Currently they use the other side as a practice area for the schools wrestling team. In 2004 they also added 2 additional cottages on the side of the building.

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

The school was also on a normal class schedule before fall of 1994, with classes being year-long. Block scheduling was then created, with a 13-minute "Advisement" at the start of the school day. There are now 4 blocks and Advisement with 4 lunches during 3rd block. Each block is 90 minutes long. In 2007 Bryan High School once again had some new changes in and outside the school including new trees along the front of the building and stones to sit on. The library also went through changes; a section of the library was transformed into new rooms for Assistant Principals, and the entry way for the library was extended into double doors to make it easier for student entry.

In 2006 the school decided to host the graduation ceremony at Qwest Center in Downtown Omaha instead of the Omaha Civic Auditorium due to the increasing size of the yearly senior class. But in 2008 the school moved it ceremony back to the Civic Auditorium.
