From now until graduation, we’d like to take the opportunity to highlight members of our senior class. We want to acknowledge the incredible things they have planned for post-graduation and reminisce on some of their favorite memories from their time at Brandywine Heights.
First up, we have Taylar Merkel!
In September I will be attending my dream school, the Delaware College of Art and Design. I will be studying photography. After receiving my Bachelor’s in Fine Arts, I plan on starting my own photography business and going to school to become a photography teacher.
My favorite high school memory would have to be last year’s prom so far.
I would like to give a special shout out to Mr. Lundy and Mr. Rabenold. Both of you have helped me follow my dreams. Without the both of you, I would not have the confidence to have been doing everything I have been these past four years, and I am extremely grateful for the both of you.
