15 minutes with Rebecca Searcy

When did you graduate from BHS?

1980

Tell me some of your favorite memories of growing up in Bluffton (school, teachers, friends, etc.)

Many teachers in both middle and high school were incredibly supportive; they gave me the educational foundation that carried me through college and beyond. When we lived on Main Street, I remember walking to the Matter's farm for very fresh eggs...and watching their sheep and pigs from our backyard. The Swiss Farm, Marbeck Center, and the Dari Freeze also stand out..
