“I think he should get this nomination because he always makes sure everyone is okay.  He is really compassionate and kind to others.  He has a really happy attitude and that spreads around the class.  He always has a smile on his face.” Anna H.

“I have known him for 2 years and in that time he has left a very positive impact on me.  He quickly turned into a resource where students can confide in him and get help. I have gone to him a multitude of times when I needed someone to talk to.  He helps his students excel musically by using a hands-on approach to teaching by helping each section individually. He has used his resources to create new opportunities for the choir.  Even though he is a relatively new teacher he has expanded the choir outreach by regularly talking to the band and choir at other schools as well as out of state.” Matthew C.

“He is easily my favorite teacher.  When I am in his class he makes it feel like a family!” Desaray H.
