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!
Bristol Central has provided me with an incredible high school experience. The teachers are caring and considerate, and understand the significance of making sure that their students are educated. I've been able to develop strong bonds with my teachers as well. The atmosphere of Bristol Central is always positive, and spreads an everlasting message of kindness and friendliness. Bristol Central has prepared me thoroughly for the challenges of my life outside of high school, including college, and providing me with important life skills such as communication, commitment, responsibility and collaboration.
One thing that I particularly like about Bristol Central High School is that teachers and administrators make our school feel like a community. Administrators are always on top of any issues brought to their attention right away, in order to keep the community at school safe. Teachers are understanding and flexible towards students when need be, and are passionate about properly preparing students for a college-ready future. Sports are the highlight of our school, where it is not uncommon to hear about our sports programs receiving awards/reaching achievements for their success. It's also not uncommon to hear about student athletes receiving scholarships to continue their athletics in college programs. Lastly, the counseling office continuously updates student when new scholarships are available, when there are new job opportunities in the area, and when there are new volunteer opportunities in the area.
