Not sure what to say?

A teacher that provoked thought not just answers. Always engaging and energetic. When I got certified to teach history I always thought to emulate his delivery methods and style. I always enjoyed the school ski trips of which he was the faculty advisor. As a senior in 1980 at Meyers I got to engage with him on planning the trips as the ski club student president. Thank you Tom and God bless.

Tom was also one of the best teachers I ever had, at any level of schooling and he became a friend after I graduated. I was fortunate enough to have him for Social Studies in 10th and 12th grades.

Great teacher. RIP Mr Rogish. Steadfast forever

Mr. Rogish was a great man. He will be missed.

Very sorry to hear about the death of Mr. Rogish. He was one of my favorite teachers at Meyers. His classroom conversations were thought provoking and fun. I actually learned something.

He was a great economic teacher .

Dear Family of Tom, We were colleagues. We were neighbors. We were good friends. I am sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Tom

First met Tom when he taught me World Cultures at Meyers. He was an outstanding teacher. Later our paths crossed at the ice rink where we became teammates . He was a wonderful friend and a great role model for living a happy and healthy life. His , was truly , a life well lived. Rest in peace Tommy.... I´m really going to miss you.

I'm so very sad to read this today. Mr. Rogish was the best teacher I had before going to college, and maybe the best ever. Along with a history professor I had at King's College and my advisor and mentor at College Park, he is part of a trinity of excellent teachers that inspire me every day in the classroom. All my students eventually hear about how wonderful, engaging, and thought-provoking his classes at Meyers were. I was fortunate to be in one of his classes three of my years there,...
