It is with great honor that Bryan ISD celebrates the retirement of Bryan High School in Bryan ISD’s beloved Coach Rose Gregg after an incredible 60 years of service to public education. Generations of Bryan High School students know Coach Gregg not only as a coach and educator, but as a mentor, role model, and lasting part of the Viking tradition. Her commitment, passion, and impact have touched thousands of lives over the years, leaving a legacy that will continue for generations to come. Thank you, Coach Gregg, for six decades of dedication to Bryan ISD and the Bryan High School community. Once a Viking, always a Viking! Thank you, Coach Gregg!

Congratulations to @bryan_high_school English teacher Cynthia Dominguez, who was recognized by the @givejoyfoundation with the Joy of Teaching Award today! The award recognizes educators who embody and promote quality teaching, demonstrate a commitment to professional excellence, promote innovating learning opportunities, inspire students and parents, and help grow the teaching profession. Ms. Dominguez was nominated by her peers and students to receive the award. One of her nominators said, "Seeing her volunteer alongside the @bisd_ambassador (program) and @habitatbcs taught me that leadership isn't just talking about change. It's working for it. She showed me what it means to care, to give, and to lead with purpose, and I will carry that lesson with me forever." With this recognition, Ms. Dominguez received a certificate, a new plant for her classroom, and an all-inclusive Caribbean vacation! Congratulations, Ms. Dominguez, and thank you for all you do! We are proud to help recognize her hard work and dedication and are grateful to partner with such great organizations as the GiveJoy Foundation! #WeAreBryanISD
