February 13, 1970, marked the date of one of the most significant events in Greenville County's educational history. Schools were ordered by the federal courts to integrate with an 80:20 ratio of whites to blacks (the statistical ratio of whites to blacks in the county.) To fulfill this order, 12,000 students in the school system had to be reassigned. Bryson High School was one of the schools affected. The tenth and eleventh graders from Bryson were assigned to Hillcrest High School. Ninth graders from Hillcrest High went to Bryson to complete the integration process. Bryson High became a ninth-grade center.
