Not sure what to say?

Mr. Wright was my Food Management teacher at Andrew Jackson High School, he was a wonderful Teacher and Man. He had so much compassion for all his Students , I remember when I was Pregnant with my first son my Dad called him and was joking with him that I had named my son after him because, he was such a Wonderful Man. But I named my son after 2 of my Brothers using there middle names. Rest in Peace Mr. Wright I´m sure God had better plans for you in Heaven. I loved making delicious...

Wanted to also add that chef Wright also kept me in the culinary field. I have worked in kitchens of schools, a dietician for a pre school. Amd I own my own bbq business in ga too. I'll never forget all he and chef toby taught me.

Chef Wright was a wonderfully man and teacher for me in the early 90s. I graduated from his class in 1992 . I loved his sense of humor and seriousness in his class room. Him and chef Toby were the best. Rest in peace

Chef Wright taught me in the early to mid 90s at the Westside skill center. He and Chef Toby had big impact on my life and i still talk about them sometimes. He had a nick name for me, as he used to call me Boy-ardee. He wouldn't call me Chefboyardee as i had to earn that title. Never seen him use a recipe it was all in his head. I know he impacted many lives. Now may he rest in the house of the Lord. God bless

He was a great man who influenced my life for the better. He taught me determination to do a job well. He was the best teacher and cared for each student as a person. Thank you for all your dedication to the students at Westside Skills Center. James Novick
