I was in Mr. Bishop's history class my junior year of hs in 1978. He was and will always be my favorite. He had a way of making you feel accepted for the good and sometimes not so good. He was one of the few that seemed to recognize my value and potential. I have been teaching for over 30 years and pray I have made my students feel seen and heard just as he did. RIP, Mr. Bishop, you will always be remembered.

Mr. Bishop
was my history teacher back in 78. He was and will always be my favorite. He seemed to understand me and appreciate me for the good and bad. I have been teaching for thirty years and hope I have made my students feel seen and heard like he did for me. RIP
