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

The Torah Bowl Shabbatonim were always a highlight. They were fun and exciting competitions, with great Torah learning mixed in.

Yamim Noraim at the Yeshiva was also very special. We would all come back to daven together and spend time in the dorms. I have so many great memories from those years.

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

 The rabbeim at the Yeshiva were an incredible resource. I always enjoyed talking to them. They understood both the world we lived in and the bochrim themselves, and they were always there to listen, offer advice, and help us along the way.

Advice for current students:

Get involved in extracurricular activities and step outside your comfort zone. Meet new people and explore different interests. You never know which experiences or friendships will stick with you long after graduation.
