Bayside High School<\/a> commemorated its 90th anniversary<\/a> on March 28 with a celebration that welcomed current and former students to a reception that included legacy exhibits, performances and displays by students in the school\u2019s six Career and Technical Education programs.<\/p>\n

The celebration was organized by Friends of Bayside<\/a>, which is aimed at inspiring Bayside alumni with a sense of purpose and strengthening bonds between its students, faculty and community.<\/p>\n

The hallways were lined with decorations in the school\u2019s signature blue and orange colors, leading attendees toward an array of displays designed not only to reflect on their own experiences at the school, but to show them how the school has evolved over the years to serve a new generation of Bayside<\/a> students.<\/p>\n
