Bryson Middle School is dedicated to helping all students develop the world-class skills and life and career characteristics outlined in the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. We achieve this by providing a safe, caring, and academically challenging learning environment. Our commitment is reflected in our school vision: "Building a Mindset for Success." We inspire students to believe in themselves, strive towards their goals, and achieve success by employing best practices and fostering continuous professional development for our teachers.
We are proud of our students’ accomplishments across academics, fine arts, athletics, agriculture, and Gateway to Technology. This year, we inducted approximately 70 members into the Jr. Beta Club and were honored as a Beta Club School of Distinction at the Junior Beta Club Convention. Three of our sports teams went to the finals for their season with Boy's Basketball winning the district championship. Our fine arts program continues to grow, with over 150 students participating in our Chorus and Theatre programs. These students showcased their talents in a full presentation of Dare to Dream. Our Orchestra also excelled, earning Superior with Distinction rating in adjudicated performances. Additionally, our Band received and Excellent rating in adjudicated performances.
At Bryson Middle, we emphasize the development of the whole child through various programs beyond academics. Our counselors delivered 12 classroom lessons this past year to increase in-person interaction with students. We continued our partnership with the Backpack Blessings program to provide weekend food supplies for students.
This past school year, students in all grade levels benefited from multiple field trips, enriching their learning with experiences beyond the school building. Over 170 8th Grade students participated in a job shadowing day, Career Day, and visitation to our career centers for exploring careers they wish to pursue after high school or college. Our PTSA continous to grow raising funds to enhance our school building and landscaping.
At Bryson Middle, we believe the responsibility of educating our students is shared among the school, family, and community. Thank you for your continued support in developing our future South Carolina graduates and world leaders.
