Babiy urged his classmates to “be individuals, not a copy.”
During his speech, Ziegler listed off the things his class of 371 students experienced at the technical high school – which serves the Bensalem, Bristol, Bristol Township, Morrisville, Neshaminy and Pennsbury school districts – during their four years there. He stuck with the “only at Tech” theme throughout.
