What is your favorite memory/(memories) from FYHS/HTC/Kayitz:

I was lucky enough to be in the dorm. Joking around in the dorms, Friday night onegs. My class built a strong bond, and we have daily Whatsapps going around. Such great camaraderie. The warmth of the rebbeim also was so special. They weren't scary and were approachable. You could talk to them about anything. We also had great secular teachers, like Mr. Hayes!

Please share a lesson/takeaway from your time at FYHS/HTC/Kayitz:

How important friendships and relationships are. We have such a special class. It also grounded me for the real world to be who you are and relate to all types of people.

Advice for current students:

Take in the time and enjoy it. Don't be overwhelmed by the  pressure of the tests. Take the relationships with you. High school is a special time.

Anything else to share:

If you are a dormer, take your time. It takes time to adjust but you will be happy!
