Sometimes, it is difficult to say goodbye. Other times, it’s not. For this group of four senior journalists, it will be a sad farewell because these young men have provided BHS with so many laughs and memories. They will be remembered for being well-rounded, driven, and kind.
As these four finish up their high school careers, it is time to hear from them before they receive their diplomas.

We hope all of you go on to accomplish amazing things in your lives. Reach for the stars, work hard, accomplish anything you want to, and always be confident. Never let anyone get in your way, or better yet, never let yourself get in the way of your own happiness and success.
One last time, thank you for the countless amount of dedication, for being wonderful writers and leaders, and for being even better people. All of you have made Brooklyn a better place, and we are immensely proud of you!
