What would you like to tell current Bryan Collegiate students?
My advice to current BCHS students…lots! Don’t be discouraged when things don’t go as planned: grades, career, life. Give yourself the grace and understanding you need to pivot. Amazing things can occur out of what seems to be the end of something, or the downfall of something. Have faith in yourself that you are adaptable.
