BCHS is my family. When I'm there, I'm home. The teachers, the administration, and the students are those whom I look forward to seeing most in life. My years there have been instrumental in finding myself and setting me on a successful career path. There are so many opportunities to excel with many AP and UConn ECE courses offered by brilliant teachers. The diverse student body truly makes the community even closer knit. There are countless ways to get involved with more extracurricular sports and clubs than you can think of led by determined teachers. I wouldn't trade my years at BC for the world. Couldn't be prouder of my alma mater! Stay ram strong!
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Bristol Central! I had great friends, amazing teachers, and a satisfying curriculum and education. I always felt a sense of community there and was never unwilling or upset to get up and go to school in the morning. I hope all current students enjoy it as much as I did!
