Summer comes with a great mystery – what are our teachers doing right now? Students may theoretically know that teachers have lives outside of school, but it’s still difficult to picture teachers at the beach or watching fireworks on the Fourth of July. Yet as the years go by and students begin to realize that teachers are actually people, the concept becomes more and more intriguing. What do they do? This year, a group of Blazers know exactly what their teachers will be doing for at least part of the summer. Why? Because they’re going with them, traveling to new countries – this year it's Eastern and Western Europe – and bringing new memories back home.

There are movies about it, songs about it, and clothes everywhere about it: it’s prom season! Besides the drama of who's going in which limo and of course finding the right date, prom is all about the quest for the perfect dress.

Students try out their fair share of classes and extracurricular activities to find a spark that may lead to a career. These Blazers knew their passions upon entering high school and are using their four years at Blair to work toward their career goals.
