to link with business and industry within the community. Our
FFA Agriculture program has received Gold Star recognition

America. Bradley’s career and technical
education programs are outstanding!
Bradley Central High School is home to thousands of proud alumni
who are “Bradley Bears—Black and Gold” for life! They
help and support our current students in so many ways,
including the many sports and extracurricular activities
that continue to build upon a long and great tradition
of excellence. It is the commitment of our entire
school family—faculty, staff, alumni and community—to provide
our students with an opportunity to achieve their full
potential as educated citizens. Our children are
the future of Bradley County, and at Bradley Central High
School, we are working to help them be the best they can
be!
