Teacher Appreciation Week
Jared McClellan, Multimedia Executive Editor
FHC Publications wanted to take this week to honor those teachers who have done something special for us- whether it is just for that specific subject or if it was for a specific influence on us as people.
If you’d like to share whom your favorite or most influential teacher was (at FHC or otherwise), click here and tell how they affected your life. We’ll post every entry we receive at the bottom of this page.
Teacher Appreciation from others
Mr.Dauve, he not only cares about his students being successful in the classroom but also as a person! He is very personable & will help his students in any ways possible, he genuinely cares about us students. My favorite teacher is Shockley because she does more then just teaches. She interacts with the kids and helps them with specific things they need help with. She also jokes around with u...
Mrs. LaRue
Elizabeth Gerger (For the record, I picked you as my teacher appreciation before I found out you picked me as your Silver Shield). Thank you for being such a great role model. Every morning I walk into your class, you always have a smile on your face and make my morning enjoyable. Having you first hour makes the rest of my day better. I'm so happy I get to experience Italy next year with you. My dr...
Mr. Schott
Emily Mann: Mr. Schott has been my favorite teacher throughout my highschool career, he has been the only teacher I have been comfortable around enough to be myself. It is so great knowing I can be myself and not be judged or frowned upon while in his classroom. I know as soon as I walk into room 139 there will be lots of sarcasm, witty comments, and sass, but along with those things there i...
Mr. Dauve
Emily Mann: Although I do not speak up much during class, due to my shy, timid nature, Mr. Dauve never fails to recognize my efforts in his class. He is absolutely one of the very best teachers I have ever had, and I am really grateful for him. He is always trying to get us more passionate about science particularly, with fun interesting facts, and engaging lectures. But even for those whom he k...
Mrs. Fay
Elisa Swanson: I will never be able to write a complete teacher appreciation letter because there are not enough cohesive words to describe Ms. Fay. I still remember the first time I really met Ms. Fay. My freshman year, she pulled me into the Newspaper back room to tell me she was working on a scheduling problem I was having and I was terrified because all I’d really heard about her was a) s...
Mrs. Ross
Belle Herrera: I transferred to Central from North my sophomore year. If you would have seen me wandering the halls with a schedule in one hand and a worried look on my face you would have thought I was a lost freshman. After two weeks at Central I still couldn’t go from my first hour to my seventh hour without getting lost, I had to go in order from first to second and so on. My freshma...
Mrs. Hauquitz
Emily Stone: Words can’t even begin to compare to the amount of awesomeness that you have put into my life. We started a club together! Well mainly you I just told people about it. Haha. But really you are pretty much my best friends and the only reason I’m ok with leaving is because then Mrs. Head and I can have a movie week. and force Hauquitz to watch a few. ...
Mr. Griffin
Amy Wilkerson: I want to start with saying thank you. Thank you for the endless hours you have put in with teaching us and helping us all grow as musicians. I have learned so much in the past two years and I don’t know where I’d be today without this band program. I’m always amazed by the amount of patience and passion you have for teaching us music. Because of this band program, I have been pu...
Mr. McCoy
Amanda Harfmann: It’s kind of funny that when people talk about physics they talk about how hard it is and how stressful it is and I never understood what they meant. I always thought of it as a blow off class. I think it’s because I enjoy it so much. I look forward to it and I have never minded to struggle. And that’s because of you. Your passion for science is unparalleled. I’ve never h...
Mrs. MacMillan
Mackenzie Morris: Mrs. MacMillan was a great math teacher. I will never forget that class. She taught exactly in the way I needed. I was always just pretty good at math, but after taking her class, I understood it better, and that is probably why it is my favorite subject now. She would do enough examples so I felt prepared, but I was never bored or bogged down with repetitiveness in class. After ...
Mr. Perkowski
Jessie Mavros: I don’t think I’ve gone home after school and talked about a teacher more than I did for you. I would just get so excited after every class because it was so much fun, and I couldn’t help talking about it, not just to my mom but with my friends as well. Your class taught me so much. Not just about psychology since we both know our classroom conversations would wander from that subject ...
Ms. Struckhoff
Will Sills: Few jobs are as selfless as being a teacher. They teach the next generation of doctors, lawyers, engineers, and stock brokers, yet they seem to receive little thanks for their hard work. In fact, if they do receive attention, it usually isn’t for anything good. It seems as if fewer and fewer teachers are coming, and several aren’t very good. So when a new teacher comes around and...
Mr. Cissell
Haley Mills: Dear Mr. Cissel, From the moment I walked into your classroom on my second day at FHC, I instantly felt at home and at ease. You were the first person I had made a connection with and that connection has just been growing ever since. The constant reassurance that everything was going to be fine when I was diagnosed with acute renal failure, and the continuous prayers while the test...
Mrs. Head
Emily Stone: Words can’t even begin to compare to the amount of awesomeness that you have put into my life. We started a club together! Well mainly you I just told people about it. Haha. But really you are pretty much my best friends and the only reason I’m ok with leaving is because then Mrs. Head and I can have a movie week
Mr. Kozlowski
Becca Abrams: I remember my junior year when Mr. Koz was filling out recommendations for AP Chemistry and he went around the room asking kids what their intended major was. Most of them said something in science or math and then it got to me and I said business. I immediately went home that night and reevaluated what I actually wanted to be and what I wanted to gain from my education. I didn’t w...
Mr. Reed
Elizabeth Gerger: Thank you Mr. Reed for everything you've done for me over the past year. You teach one of the hardest subjects to teach. It could easily be boring, but you bring the class to life and I thank you so much for that. You put so much time into your teaching and your students and it does not go unnoticed. Thank you for letting me retake quizzes 15 times. Thank you for listening to me r...
Mrs. Mair
Cadence Bippen: Mrs. Mair (I think this is the first time I haven’t referred to her as Mrs. Wager) is without a doubt one of the best teachers I’ve had in my 13 years of school. I didn’t take Spanish in eighth grade because I was afraid of the teacher. I didn’t take Spanish freshman year because I wanted to take two music classes. Now, I am a senior in Spanish III, and thanks to Mrs. Mair, I...
Mr. Messerli
Skylar Laird: I still remember when I first decided to play baritone, at the instrument night when I was in fifth grade. That was the first time I met Mr. Messerli, sitting with the baritone and French horn at a table in the corner. I still remember playing it for the first time as well as Mr. Messerli’s enthusiasm as he encouraged me to choose the baritone to begin playing in middle school. I obv...
Mrs. Schellert
Larissa Kite: To be honest when I first met you I was afraid of you because of all your sass and sarcasm. But it did not take me long to see how amazing you are. Now I see you as a loving and caring mother who is also a kick butt soccer coach. Not only did you show me the unconditional love a mother has for her children, but you gave that to me. You didn’t wait for me to ask for your guide an...
Mrs. LaMartina
Dayna Susek: Thank you for being there for me and not giving up on me my sophomore year. My sophomore year you didn’t give up on me and pushed me to try harder even when I gave up and I have carried that on through the rest of highschool. You have always been the teacher that I knew I could always go back to if I was ever struggling. You also have inspired me to go after my dreams no matter...
Mr. Beckmann
Bri Shatto: Hey Beckmann. I know you are a little upset that I do not come to your class anymore, but I just wanted to let you know you are one of my favorite people in this school. I know you act all tough of the outside, but I am very happy to tell you, you actually do care and I know so. There was a time this year where I was going through a very rough time, and I don’t know if you remem...
Mr. Howard
Elaine Mallon: I’ve always been frail and weak, breaking a bone just about every other year. I’ve always been slow, always the first kid to get tagged. Overall, I just didn’t possess any natural athletic abilities, so it came to a great surprise to many when I enrolled into Sports Enhancement- an elite class designed for the college athlete. I didn’t know what I was getting myself i...
Dr. Miller
Jared McClellan: Dra. Miller you are probably one of the most amazing teachers I have ever had. The amount of Spanish I have learned in your class might be the most I have learned throughout my entire life. No matter what awful Juanes song we listen to, I always retain the information that you teach us, and as a student I have to thank you for that. Throughout all of the terrible time-writes and...
Mrs. Dennigman
Beth Weirich: Thanks for being a rocking psych teacher. Your class really has made me appreciate the human mind- even if it doesn’t always seem like that. I’m sorry for making you cry that one time (I’m sure there were other times as well). You make class enjoyable for everyone. You just have a way of relating to your students that is very rare for some teachers. Thank you for that! But please ...
Dr. Arnel
Taylor Tinnes: Every year flocks of incoming freshmen barge through the front doors of Central, confused, lost, and scared. What they don’t realize is that their guiding light is at the door, our very own Dr. Sonny Arnel. At least that’s how I felt three years ago. As a freshman, all the stereotypes of high school continued to replay through my head: the lazy teachers, the unconcerned administ...
Mr. Range
Josie Julien: As a freshman in a biology class it was intimidating. Early in the morning and a class full of sophomores who had attitude problems. Mr. Range was the only one to break the silence and crack a horrible joke. He made that class bearable and always had a smile on his face. The class still had a stony exterior, whether it was due to tiredness, or they were just humorless, but I was laugh...
Ms. Berryman
Abram Cutshall: Thank you so much for helping me become the person I am today. Without you, I would have given up on school completely. You always reminded me I was smart and could succeed when I was feeling unmotivated. You encouraged me to do the best I could because you knew I could achieve 100 percent if I really tried. You made math fun for me. I used to see it as a roadblock I had to climb o...
Mr. Schneieder
Cadence Bippen: Mr. Mark Schneider has been the subject of many dinner conversations and car ride talks within the Bippen family. My family is well aware that math has never been my favorite subject. My brain isn’t wired to remember equations or abstract ideas like imaginary numbers, and I have a hard time recalling concepts from Algebra 2, sophomore year. So when I signed up for Calc BC, I knew...
Mrs. Shockley
Jared McClellan: Shockzilla, where do I even start with how wonderful you have made my senior year? I am unable to picture the way this year would have gone if I did not have a teacher I was capable of being sassy with. I can tell that in your class my skills as a student have drastically improved, and I have to thank you a lot for helping me develop these skills. I come to school everyday dread...
