Q: Out of your entire school career, what teacher has been the biggest inspiration and/or influence to you?

I chose him as my senior mentor this year for College/Career Success III, and it’s been such a good experience. He asks me about me and makes sure that I know who I’m being. He’s a great person, and I suggest that anyone take the time to get to know him.”
