The new Bryson High School was located at the old P. Meadors homestead on approximately 86 acres (35 ha).

The Greenville County School District bought the land on December 1, 1952, for nine thousand dollars.

The new school consisted of a main hall, gymnasium, related-arts wing, cafeteria, and an auditorium.

February 13, 1970, marked the date of one of the most significant events in Greenville County's educational history.

In the fall of 1973, Bryson High changed from a ninth-grade center into a middle school to serve students in grades six through eighth.
