My daughter Annie (Mrs. Eddleton) has had a big transition this year to first grade, and your kindness and instruction has been such a bright spot! She looks forward to computer lab so much, and has gained so much confidence working with you. Thank you so much for all you’ve done to support these kids. Annie told me that you’d be coming back some day! :)

Thank you again!

Both our kiddos, Frances (5th) and Vin (1st), adore you and look forward to Tech Lab every week. I can’t imagine how challenging it was supporting our whole community during virtual school at the height of the pandemic—but you did a phenomenal job and always had a smile on your face. We’ll miss you! Best of luck at your new job—we hope to see you on campus sometime 😉

From Computer Lab to Tech Club, from spraying you with silly string for the Fun Run to spending our days with you at Scottie Camp, the Carroll boys have benefited from your gift of being an incredible teacher who makes learning fun and interesting. I really hate goodbyes, so this is more of a ‘See you around’ as an HP Dad and Mrs. Absher’s husband. ;)

Your joy for teaching made them love coming to see you and learn from you.  Thank you for bringing that energy to your classroom and inspiring our kids and all the others to be fascinated by all technology has to offer.

We were so lucky that you stepped up BIG time the past two years to serve our community's tech needs, supporting our kids and HP staff. To say you'll be missed as a teacher would be a tremendous understatement. So glad we get to keep seeing you around as a HP dad.

Best of luck with your new gig!

You have always gone above and beyond to help my kids!!  I remember the time Sienna had her foot put into a boot and could no longer do the active Scottie Camp we had planned!  Without any hesitation you immediately said you would be happy to have her in your tech coding camp- which made things so much easier and happier for our working family!!  Plus she got to learn some great coding!!  You have been my favorite person from that day forward!!

You have also gone above and beyond to always help address all tech issues for Sage both during online and in-person learning. I appreciate you so much and feel HP is truly losing a shining star!!  But I know that your new opportunities will lead you great places and will be a good fit for your family!  We will miss you so much- but hope to see you still around HP sometimes- or maybe on the fishing pier in Port A :)
