Mr. Morrison was the best Christian Principal I had ever known. He always cared about each and every student, his staff, and his family. There will never be another person in this world that could replace Mr. Morrison. May You Walk Hand In Hand In Heaven With God!!!! You are Truely Missed By Your Students That Looked Up To You & Respected You For The Person You Was!!!!!
