I have been a part of the Bleckley County school system since I was 4 years old. I obviously do not remember much from my younger years but my high school experience has been like no other. I remember being so nervous on my first day of high school, but after that first day, it was smooth sailing. The staff and people at BCHS are just the best. They care for all of the students, and you are not just a number. They get to know you and grow relationships with you that last a lifetime.

I am sad to leave, but grateful for the time I was given in the Bleckley County school system.
