Time Travel: BHS Valedictorians and Salutatorians in 2001 and Decades ago in Summersville in the Fall
By Dick Duez on April 12, 2026 from History Blog
Although no longer practiced, Harrison County Schools used to honor valedictorians and salutatorians. Bridgeport High School used to frequently have more than its fair share. As this photo shows, there were 18 individuals earning that designatin as part of the 2001 graduating class. See anyone you know? Feel free to identify them in the comment section below.

This is downtown Summserville from decades ago. Anyone have an idea what time frame this fall photo is from?
