Woodville Road project complete in north Bryan
The Woodville Road project in North Bryan is complete. Drivers and pedestrians now have safer routes to get where they're going, and property owners have improved stormwater facilities.

Summer recreational swim schedule altered
Due to a shortage of lifeguards, the recreational swimming schedule at all three of Bryan's aquatic facilities has been altered.

Kemp High School circa 1961.
E.A. Kemp High School, seen here circa 1961, served African American students for 10 years until the 1971 integration of Bryan schools. Bryan’s first school for African Americans, Bryan Public School for Colored, was founded in 1885. The school was renamed Washington Elementary in 1930 when E.A. Kemp Junior-Senior High School was built. E.A. Kemp Junior-Senior High educated African American students for 30 years until the new E.A. Kemp High School was built. The Junior-Senior High was renamed R.C. Neal Junior High School at that time. In 2012, Dr. Oswell Person, author of two books on the African American experience in Bryan and an E.A. Kemp Junior-Senior High alumnus, spoke with Carnegie History Center oral historian Anne Preston about education in Bryan during segregation. Listen to Dr. Person discuss his experiences with education in Bryan during segregation and how attending Washington Elementary and E.A. Kemp Junior-Senior High shaped him.
