Bryce James' mother, Savannah James, shared photos and a video from the graduation on Instagram. The first shows her son and his classmates shifting the tassels on their caps from the right side to left before throwing them in the air.
The next is a photo of Bryce James standing beside his siblings, Bronny James and Zhuri Nova James. The third and last picture is a family photo of the “James Gang” standing together.
“So proud of you and all the hard work you’ve done to get to this point,” Savannah James wrote in her post's caption.
Bryce James attended Sierra Canyon in his freshman year before transferring to Campbell Hall in North Hollywood. He also transferred to Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks before returning to Sierra Canyon in Nov 2023.
Before his senior season of high school basketball, he averaged 6.9 points and 2.2 rebounds per game on the Nike EYBL circuit.
He got an offer from the University of Arizona in December 2024, made a commitment the next month and signed with the Wildcats in April.
“This is only the beginning,” Savannah James added. “Keep striving to be the absolute best version of you. Love you more than words can explain and so exciting to see what the future has for you.”
