What you’ve learned in 4 years at EBHS

Time goes by a lot quicker than you want it to, you need to cherish every high school memory good or bad and truly enjoy every moment

I’ve had such an amazing high school experience thanks to friends, great teachers, and coaches, and my family as well

My best advice is to try to get involved in as much as you can, it made me love my time in high school
