Columbus High School

"(I want) each and every student or parent I met with know that I care about them, and that it wasn't just me doing my job. I love them and care about them."

"If there are some things that we can equip you with, a good work ethic, honesty, commitment and discipline, all those things will take you further than just my math course. Those skills are just going to make (students) great at whatever they do."

"I love working with kids. When they come and pay a fine, a fee, a project they come see me, I never want a student to have a bad experience."

"Every day we're here to make sure that our students are our number one focus, (our) number one priority."

"When they go home for the day, I want students to say they've learned something, or were able to understand why we did it and how it applies to something else."
