I graduated BHS in 1975. I went to the Ross bldg, I loved that school. Ross Herzog and Barbara Britt were amazing teachers. I have nothing but good memories.

When I graduated was in l964, and I now hold a Ph.D.(psychology) so, I think the school and teachers were great and prepared me very well for the future. Hoping it still the same!

This school isn't as bad as everybody thinks it is. I am a student there and I don't think it's horrible or that I am being deprived of anything. The only negative about this school is the bad students. Other than that, the faculty is great and the school is a regular school.
