Under the caring leadership and instruction of Battle Creek Public School’s dedicated staff, Terry received the knowledge and inspiration to follow his dreams. His high school counselor at BC Central saw Terry’s potential and encouraged him to consider attending the University of Michigan. And he did just that, with great success.
