School Reviews
5 Hi,
I am a graduate student from Batside High School. I graduated on Friday, June 22nd, 1979 @ 10:00am. I just would like to say that I really liked Bayside High School and the teachers were very helpful.
Sincerely,
Haydee Torres.
By the way, I am trying to find Carol TrRios who graduated a year before me. I would like to know about her whereabouts . Thank you. - Posted by Student/Alumni - hayde |
