Empty Seat That Will Be Impossible To Fill


The last real AP at Packemin HS recently retired.  His departure is a great loss to the school. 

This AP was a real teacher.  He knew his material backwards and forwards and could always be counted on to know the correct answer and the correct way to teach.  He truly was a master teacher. The kids adored him and did well in his class.  He knew how to teach new teachers their craft.  The vacant spot he leaves will be impossible to fill.

This real AP did not get is certification in a weekend class.  He taught for more than 5 minutes before taking the reigns of his department.  Unlike at least one of the other ones, he passed his teaching exam the first time. 

The students at Packemin will be the real ones to suffer.

This administrator worked hard and has earned his well deserved retirement.  I wish him a long, happy, healthy stress free work free life.
