Bellaire High SchoolCome As You Are The invitation didn’t come in the mail. Paper and pen were never used. This invitation was simply implied –an open door policy- and the one who was invited was you. For some, coming was just a matter of logistics. Where one lived determined inclusion. Others picked this place by virtue of reputation, a chance to rise with the cream, a way to stand out. Where were they going, what were they doing? And, just who were they? They were the cumulative student body, 40 years worth, and they were off to Bellaire High school with the objective of receiving the best education around. They were the jocks, the brains, the kickers, the preps, the skaters, and others who didn’t fit in any of these categories. They were – and continue to be – individuals with different interests and backgrounds made obvious by the over 70 organizations they formed and joined. Bellaire High School. The sign on the door always read “Come As You Are!” Sara Kate Goodwin ‘96
