Excitement, happiness and a profound sense of accomplishment filled the air as students completed the official requirements of their high school careers. Superintendent Joelle Magyar delivered introductory remarks which encouraged the Class of 2019 to be heroes that make a positive difference in the lives of others and the world. The Senior Choir followed with a powerful performance of the song “Live Out Loud” composed by BBHHS Seniors Delia Brennan and Stephen Pilat, both of whom will be attending Berklee College of Music in the fall. BBHHS seniors Christy Pitzer, Alexander Benedict and Christine Rutkowski addressed their fellow graduates with words of encouragement and inspiration.
