This is the last year at Boyertown for the class of 2024. Throughout their time at Boyertown they shared laughs, experiences, good times, bad times, and everything in between. Friendships between students grew as the years went by, and although some seniors are ready to move on, others aren’t ready to leave their high school experience in the past. Sarah Campbell says. “It feels like it went by so fast. One minute I was zooming into my English 9 class and now I’m getting my senior portraits taken with the cap and gown. It’s a little intimidating but I’m very excited to move on to the next part of my life.”
Sarah isn’t the only senior who feels like high school went by too fast. Many other seniors feel as though time just flew by. Skylar Gilbert states, “It’s quite sad to think I won’t be returning next year. I feel like the amount of time spent here was much shorter than I anticipated back when I was new to middle school.” Even though everyone says high school will pass in the blink of an eye, no one believes it until they’re a senior and see for themselves. Joshua Lear also mentions, “School in Boyertown is all I know and it’s crazy to think that the next chapter of my life is just around the corner. Everything is changing so quickly and it’s hard to keep up sometimes.”
One thing that many of the seniors will be missing the most is teachers. The connections that students make with the teachers at BASH are truly unbreakable and will last a lifetime, no matter if they are still at Boyertown or not. “I am going to miss all of my teachers!” Skylar Gilbert says. “They taught me so much, and the relationships I have made with them all are something that won’t fade for a long time. They always knew how to motivate me to keep trying and not give up on an idea.” Teachers also have helped some seniors figure out what they want to do. Alexis Dawson mentions, “I hope to become an educator, so those connections have helped me figure out who I want to be.”
But what will students be missing the least? Each student has had their own experience in the district and will all have something different to say about their least favorite part. Joseph Millet remarks, “ I won’t miss all the projects, assignments, keystones, and midterms that we were given as students.” Sarah Campbell simply mentions how crowded the hallways are. “I can’t wait for the open space of a college campus.” Alexis Dawson also comments on the crowded hallways, saying, “Fighting my way through six-foot freshmen will not be missed.”
No matter what each senior experienced throughout their time at Boyertown, each one has a bright future ahead of them and will go far in life.
