The Jasper Bryant, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund was founded to honor the legacy that Bryant (the name his principal and colleagues called him) left through his 34 years of creative and fun teaching style. Although he retired in 2000, his love of education and the students he impacted remained a focal point in his life. Bryant had several philosophies about life but the one that struck his family the most was his desire to use every opportunity for a greater purpose in hopes that it would bless others. Thus, the scholarship fund was born.
