My most influential teachers:

Mr. Baca - English

Mrs. Scott - Geometry

Mrs. Peterson - German

Mr. Allen - Social Studies

My favorite hands down was Mrs. Doran.  Video was one of my favorite, and looked forward to classes.

Nancy Schick, hands down. Her love of American and European history changed the way I looked at the subject.

Mr. Thalman. No contest

Tom Laeser.  I had him every single year, and he was very influential in pushing me into my computer science career track.

• Freshman: Geometry
• Sophomore: Programming (Pascal)
• Junior: Programming (C)
• Senior: Journalism (we did the newspaper out of his loft)

He also started the Humanities class which most of my friends were in, and my dad used to give talks to them once a year.

Mr. Laeser was very enthusiastic about all his subjects and came up with clever and interesting ways to introduce difficult topics.

Special nod also to Mrs. West for Senior English.

My favorite teacher was Dave Cook.  I had him for Geometry freshman year and Algebra 2/Trig sophomore year.  He was also my advisor and took me on as an assistant my senior year.  He was a great teacher and was always supportive.  He really got me through some tough times and I have stayed in touch with him over the years.  He made a big difference in my life as any great teacher should!
