What is your favorite memory of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø?
I graduated quite a while ago, but remained a ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø resident. I raised my children here and value the close relationships that I have cultivated over the years. One of my fondest memories was the picnic with my former classmates at our 10 year high school reunion.
Were there any ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø teachers or staff members you felt made a positive difference in your life?
Yes. My high school math teacher had a tremendous impact on my life. Mr. Michael Cohen is still a trusted mentor and friend.
How do you feel your time in ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø helped you prepare for life after ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø?
³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø provided me the opportunity for a well-rounded education that led to a life-long love of learning.
What sports or clubs were you involved with?
I was the Vice President of BSOSS now BSO and I ran track.
Is there anything else you would like to share with us about your time in ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø or your life after graduation?
I am very grateful for the doors that opened for me and for my daughters because of the education that we received in the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø School District. I encourage our ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø families to remain active participants in a district that can provide all children with the opportunity to achieve success after high school.
