His positive energy is felt wherever he goes, and he is admired by both students and staff.

"He is constantly trying to improve as a student, as an athlete, and as a person. He leads by example both in the classroom and on the field, where he personifies ‘student-athlete’ and sets a standard for others to follow."
Bryson’s impact reaches beyond athletics. Ms. Everhart, his AP Photography teacher, shared: "I had Bryson in AP Photo when he was in 10th grade. He is always sweet, and he has matured into a role model for younger students. I'm very proud of him and admire his consistently generous, positive attitude."

He takes his academics seriously, recognizing how they prepare him for future goals. Bryson aspires to lead a good Christian life and be a positive example for his peers."

It’s refreshing to see that level of maturity in someone his age. I can’t wait to see how far he goes, and I will truly miss him when he graduates. Students like that are extremely rare."
