Bensalem Township High School
I had so many wonderful teachers who never gave up on their students. They had many activities and oppurtunities for students to get involved in extra-curricular activities. There was something for everyone. We had some of the best sports teams in our county. I'm extremely proud to say that I graduated from Bensalem High School!
