DONALD HORNISH

Our family is deeply saddened by this news and offer our sincere condolences. Both of our children were students of Mr. Hornish at Westfield High School. His influence on both of them was profound and years later we still cite him and Mrs. Hornish as perfect examples of what good teaching is about. We will be forever grateful. The number of young lives he positively impacted is huge - what a legacy!

Mr. Hornish was one of the main reasons that I chose to enter into teaching as a Junior. He was fair, just, and pushed me beyond what I thought I was capable of.
