Founding

The school was formed in 1998 by combining Alba High School (in Bayou La Batre) and Grand Bay High School (formerly called Mobile County High School), who transitioned into respective middle schools. The school was named for Alma Bryant, an influential south Mobile County educator who had taught for a period of time at both schools. [6] [7]

The archery team has been a top finisher in the AASP tournaments since 2005 and regularly feature as one of the nation's premier archery teams. [8] School athletic teams are known as the Hurricanes.

Since 2014, Bryant High has been in the AHSAA Class 7A. Prior to the 2014-15 School year they were in Class 6A, formerly the largest class. [9]
