Kirk Strange

Kirk taught several Phoenix Staff members the Haka dance, which we performed for our students to inspire them to take an aggressive attitude towards passing their graduation tests. Great memories.

Kirk and I had the privilege of working side by side for nearly 18 years teaching social studies at Phoenix High. Over those years, we shared countless stories and laughs, and supported each other through life´s challenges. Kirk´s passion for history and deep love for his family were always evident in everything he did. One of my favorite memories is the trip we took together to the U.S. Marine Corps´ Parris Island, where we experienced (an extremely modified version of) a recruit´s...

I worked with Kirk at Phoenix High School, where he was known for his genuine passion for inspiring young people, a wicked sense of humor in the break room, and a healthy skepticism at faculty meetings.

Kirk and I were colleagues at Phoenix High. I always enjoyed talking to Kirk and hearing his funny stories about all sorts of events. He will be missed.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kirk at Phoenix High School. I started in the throws of the pandemic and it was difficult to get to know people as we were all isolating at the time. Kirk's room was near mine and he checked in often and we enjoyed sharing stories. What I remember the most was his love and dedication to his wife and daughter. He was a good man and I am so very sorry for your loss. We will miss him.

I worked with Kirk at Phoenix High School. He was a great teacher and a great person. He will be missed.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
