“Determined, calm, hardworking.” Angela Price, BHS College Adviser
“Beneath that calm, polite composure is a fierceness; Meriem’s drive to learn and achieve belie her passive appearance. In the 37 years that I have taught English, I easily place Meriem in the top 10% of all students with whom I have worked.” Susan Jones, BHS IB English Instructor
