The Bryant School Board desegregated its schools, mostly without incident. Prior to that time, African-American students living in Bryant (Saline County), as well as in the rest of Saline County, attended a separate school located in Alexander (Pulaski County). In the spring of 1966, Ronald Wallace, William Wallace, and Ken Jones became the first black graduates of Bryant High School.
