May God Bless And Comfort You

Thank you to the family for allowing us the students of HHS to be a part of your family. He pushed us to do good. As for me I made it to his office one time and it was enough for me. I had never been in trouble before and he made me sit in his office for half a day. He didn't let me catch the bus. He drove me home. It was the longest 15mins of my life. Never got in trouble again. He will be missed.
