Basketball legend Chris Herren is in Binghamton for the first time, speaking to our middle school students about how his drug use cost him his professional basketball career - and nearly cost him his life and family. It’s a powerful story about addiction that every teen should hear. Don’t forget — there is a FREE, open-to-the-community presentation at 6 p.m. TONIGHT at East Middle School! We hope to see you there!

📅 | Tomorrow is the first of three performances of HONK! this weekend at the BHS Helen Foley Theatre! Be sure to come out for a great time!

“I raise up my voice—not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard…We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.” -- Malala Yousafzai We wish everyone a happy month of recognizing all the amazing contributions women have made in shaping our society 💁‍♀️ #BPatriotProud

On Thursday, March 9, the Binghamton City School District will host Chris Herren for a free community presentation at 6 p.m. in the East Middle School auditorium. Herren, a basketball legend, realized his lifelong dream of playing in the NBA before losing his career and almost his family to the disease of addiction. Alcohol and drug-free since August 1, 2008, Chris has spoken to over one million students nationwide with the goal of sparking honest discussions and making a positive difference in their lives. Through inspiring presentations, Herren empowers the audience and guides students to rethink how we look at the disease of addiction, from the last day to the first.

Happy Valentine's Day, Patriots! We love you! ❤️
