2020 was certainly a year to remember, but in the midst of history-making moments like the Black Lives Matter protests, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the election of Joe Biden as president, Wildcats escaped to TV, film, music, fast food, gaming, and social media. Here are the results of a year-end survey that was distributed by the Wildcat to the BOHS student body in December.
