Mr. Carney was my teacher almost 40 years ago. I still remember him teaching us greater than and less than. He was so kind.

It is with great sadness that I have learned of Mike Carney´s passing. I worked with Mike at Division Street School from 1992 until to he transfered to Maple Avenue Middle School. Mike was an exceptional third grade teacher. He was loved by his students and respected by his peers His work on our first shared decision making team was exemplary. His unit of study on Native Americans was outstanding with some of the highest levels of student enthusiasm and learning that I have ever observed....

So sad to read of Mr. Carney´s passing. He was my Social Studies and English teacher back when I was in 6th grade at the middle school (2003). He always made us laugh and made learning a lot of fun. May his family take solace in knowing how much of a positive impact he had on all who knew him.

Diane, Tim and Chris, I am so sorry to hear of Mikes passing. We taught together at Lake Ave and again at Middle School. He was a wonderful teacher and friend and a fellow Trojan. Sincerely, Mo Walsh
