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

We were the first class with Rabbi Cardash. He was my 9th grade rebbe. It was a fun year. He actually just came to visit me recently! 

Rabbi Isenberg was also very kind to me and helped me through high school to have a great experience. Rabbi Weiss was also great. He told everyone that I was the best note taker in class. Rabbi Polstein was great and we had a great time on our class trip to Kentucky with him. I looked up to him and he cared a lot about his students. 

Great chevra as well! I have so many fond memories. The purim shpiels were great. The list goes on.

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

As much as we want to just go through high school, I look back on it so fondly. The relationships with rebbeim. You will see later in life that many lessons you learned in high school carry you.

Advice for current students:

Don't be afraid to take the next step and ask questions. Speak up if something on your mind bothers you. The Rebbeim are there to help.
