“What’s important to me is the teacherstudent relationships. I feel like I got the best out of the classes here because I was closer to the teachers. It’s been more of a friendship than a master-padawan relationship.”
“I’ll always remember the people I met that were always there for me and the encouragement from all the teachers so that I can go to a four year university right after high school.”
These are the seniors who deserve recognition, but have already been written about in the High Tide or THE Pilot. Kelly Ryan
