“After accepting the principal’s position in 2011, I presented a plan to the Board of School Trustees to re-envision the high school experience. We have accomplished all of those goals and I now look forward to my next challenge,” Bryant said. “I’m excited about the opportunities that exist in my future. I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition as NHS looks forward to continuing high levels of achievement.”

Bryant served as NHS principal for eight years. The school achieved great success throughout his service, including receiving Four Star school ratings, an “A” grade on both state and federal requirements, and the creation of the largest internship program in Indiana. He previously served as an assistant principal and English teacher.

“It has been an absolute honor and privilege to serve the students, staff and community as NHS principal,” Bryant said. “I have enjoyed celebrating with a wonderful staff the best academic performance in the history of NHS.”

The district will begin the recruiting process for Bryant’s replacement immediately and will work with the high school’s four assistant principals and two deans to ensure a smooth transition for the start of school in August. An announcement of Bryant’s replacement will be made at a later date.
