DJ was one of the most respectful and polite students that I have ever taught. I truly enjoyed having him in class & he continued to stop & speak to me in the hallways even after he was no longer in my class. You should be proud of the polite young man that he was. BCHS will miss his kind spirit. I am keeping you all in my prayers during these difficult days. Wanda Huffstetler
