I am in 9th grade right now, and I know many of these teachers. It will be nearly impossible to replace them. Mr. Fodness, I never got to have you as a teacher, but just hearing stories from my parents and siblings about you have always made me want to be in your class! Its a shame I will never get to be!

Congratulations on your retirement! Thank you all for your service and dedication to educating the young members of the community. Fod - I still remember much of what I learned in your American Lit class. Thoreau's Walden, Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, and on and on. Thanks for showing me how to appreciate the classics! "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes...."

Many of the teachers and staff retiring are going to be very hard to replace! Good Luck Cap!! The Drama department won't be the same without you!
