1985/ Memorable teachers

    Gilbertson influential both as a teacher and coach, by Todd Bourassa
    The most memorable teacher that I have had was Mr. Terry Gilbertson.
    I had him as my sixth-grade homeroom teacher. He had a big influence on me both in and out of the classroom. He also was my varsity football coach. In his classes I remember him saying that if we tried our best, something good will come out of our efforts. He also was strict with us in class. If we were talking or doing something bad, he would find something for us to do.

    Andrejewski helped students develop sense of self, by Brian Hansen
    This reflection started out when I was a freshman. The average freshman, who is not really known by the other levels of the student body and feels as if he or she is just another page in a useless book.
    One teacher gave me the inspiration and motivation to work as a student and not be another page in a book. He was one of the best teachers I have ever had. Most of the student body called him "A," but he was more than just another letter of the alphabet to me, he was a teacher.
    Paul Andrejewski was one of a kind, and I hated to see him leave. He gave me the incentive and the will power to get the job done and to get it done right and on time, too.
