BRIARCLIFF MANOR — The annual fall barbecue welcoming the entire student bodyback to Briarcliff High School is a longstanding tradition that Assistant Principal Debora French believes feeds more than healthy appetites for burgers.

“It’s a tradition that we’re proud of because it really brings all the students and teachers together,” Ms. French says. “It’s a wonderful way to start off the year.”
