Paul William Philp

Mr. Philp was one of the most intelligent and down-to-earth people I have ever met. He was my AP World History teacher during the 2023-2024 school year at Clark High School. His deep passion for teaching was evident, and he genuinely wanted every one of his students to thrive, not only academically but also as individuals of strong character.
