Poly Reunion March 22, 2025

Miss you very much; Recall some of your wisdom every day.

Sidney Muldrow, LHS, W'69, James B. Taylor and Johnnie Morgan, LHS, S'69 attend the Alain Leroy Locke High School Dedication of the Quad to Mr. Taylor on May 15, 2014.

Mr. Taylor was loved by every one who ever had the pleasure of meeting him, he touched so many of our hearts & for some of us made us pretty much of who we are today. Memories of this amazing Gentleman will be live with me forever.

Mr. Taylor was Vice Principal while I attended Poly and was a fantastic person and was always there for us! Nothing but wonderful memories and respect for this great person!

Thank you , for keeping the candle light burning. Dr. Taylor's legacy will forever be alive just as the memorial service, one of which that should not have been missed because it too will be a memory well etched into the minds of all attended.

We enjoyed reading these comments about a great and honorable man loved and admired by so many.
