When did you graduate from BHS? Does that seem like a long time ago?

I graduated from Bluffton High School in 2003. It does not seem like it was that long ago, but time has passed quickly.

What were you involved in during your growing-up years?

During high school, I was involved in show choir, band, choir, musicals, Latin Club, National Honor Society, was an elementary and high school office helper, and took post-secondary classes at Bluffton. I also worked at The Food Store, which was a lot of fun!
