George and Skele
George has been teaching for over fifty years. Sixteen of those years have been spent at Henderson Bay High School. The reason George came to Henderson was because he observed a teacher who formerly taught here. George noticed how he interacted with his students. So he took the first available opening at our high school.
His goal for this school year is to help his students appreciate life and education, pass their classes, graduate from high school and realize that life is a special gift. His greatest accomplishment to this date is that he has been teaching for as long as he has and still enjoys being a teacher. ~Bre |
