(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I would like to take the time to say how proud I am to have graduated from such a wonderful place. White Plains for me was such a great place to grow up and a great educational experience for me. The teachers were great and the things they taught me I have handed down to my child since she started school. I miss everybody and everything that I remember at school. The people I became friends with I miss so much,and I miss all my teachers too, because of all the guidance I received from them. Thank you White Plains for such a wonderful memory in my life!
