A FAMILIAR FEELING

STUDENTS AT STILLWATER SAY GOODBYE TO A GOOD PRINCIPAL, BUT PASS HIM ON WITH A GOOD WORD.

If you ever need someone, even if he doesn’t know you, he’s just so easy to talk to. From homework to personal relationships, he helps with everything.

My dad died when I was a freshman and I went through a lot, with school, friends, family, it was a lot to deal with. He was able to reassure me that people really do care.

— Ashley Hendrickson

He always sticks by what he says. He’s just a good natured guy and he has such an amazing work ethic. It’s easy for us to say that he knows how to have fun because he separates fun with work so well. He doesn’t confuse the two.

— Nick Newman

If you get to know him, he’s a good friend to have. He won’t ever judge you either.

— Ian Dornfeld

The best thing about him being a part of any school is that there won’t be a huge feeling of change, that is, if there’s any at all.

— Megan Wollak

We call him the ‘Mischkenator’. I would love students to know how caring he is, how easy it is to go to him with anything.

— Breanna Ramirez

He never has a bad attitude that makes him hard to go to. He’s awesome to be around because he’s so real.
