Please join us in congratulating Coach Jared Gegzna, our 2025-2026 Bryan Athletics Coach of the Year! Coach Gegzna has run our strength and conditioning program the past two seasons while also coaching 3 sports! Thank you for all you do coach!

Last week, our 9th‑grade students (Class of 2029) stepped confidently into their futures as they participated in mock interviews. Through this experience, they crafted their own resumes, practiced presenting their strengths, and gained valuable insight into real‑world interviewing. It was inspiring to see their growth and the pride they took in showcasing their skills.
We are deeply grateful to our incredible partners who volunteered for their time to make this opportunity possible.
A special shoutout to Nebraska Furniture Mart for showing up in full force with more than 20 volunteers, your commitment made a powerful impact.
