He has introduced a new school lunch program, taken on the job of college counseling, continued in his devoted support for school organizations such as the Honor Council and Key Club; and most importantly, he has continued to inject his special enthusiasm, spirit, and participation in all the activities of the school. His avid support for the various athletic teams has prompted the student body to become more supportive and enthusiastic as well.
