About Us

Bryan is currently the only Omaha Public School to have an agricultural program and has now become the largest FFA chapter in the State of Nebraska. In this academy, students utilize knowledge of both urban and traditional agriculture to be innovators in their field and positive members in the community. Agricultural themes are incorporated into their core coursework such as plant and animal science and food production.

Students participate in various competitions and regularly attend field trips and conferences across the state. As part of the students  Supervised Agricultural Experience(SAE), Vegetable and fruit gardens are managed by the students along with other landscaping projects throughout the campus.
