The current building for William Jennings Bryan Senior High School was completed in 1971.

Its backstory dates to 1964 when the first students entered what is now the Bryan Middle School building, designed as a junior-senior high complex.

At that time a weight room was added to the upper gym, through the efforts of Dave and Carol Van Metre.

In 2007 Bryan High School added new trees along the front of the building and stones to sit on.

The library also went through changes; a section was transformed into rooms for assistant principals, and its entryway was extended into double doors.
