I will remember playing your wfmz.com clip of you hitting two 3's vs Lower Merion and our class celebrating your performance. You always had a smile on your face especially when we had "work days" in calculus and when one of your classmates would always seem to mysteriously get locked outside the classroom. Thank you for your positive energy, great sense of humor, and fun personality you brought to the classroom. You worked hard to earn good grades in challenging courses. I will miss having you in class, but I know you are in good hands at Temple. Best of luck -- the Owls are gaining a good one!

Justin-from freshman year in Seussical where you were clearly the mayor to Annie where you were the head of the household, there has always been something about your presence which suggests that you are the man in charge-the man to streamline and organize the tasks. You are definitely the tallest in all of my classes and yet the gentlest and the most compassionate. That is a great trait my friend. From philosophy to gaming, you are attentive and interested. You have been gifted a beautiful voice and I miss hearing you sing in the A wing. I can't wait to see what you do in the next chapter of your life. Congratulations Justin! You will be missed.

We can definitely make that happen! In all seriousness, future period 8 classes will be difficult to top because of students like you.

At the end of your sophomore year, you were ready to begin your college journey and enrolled as a full time dual enrollment student at LCCC for junior and senior year.

Emma, I so enjoyed the level of scholarship you brought to our 6th period class. In the very beginning of the year, you asked an extremely insightful question about something we were learning (one of many that you would ask all year.) I thought, "This girl has very interesting thoughts...I like the way she approaches this literature." You showed me immediately that you felt strongly, thought deeply, and had a unique perspective on the world. I know you push yourself so hard to be excellent in all your coursework, music, science, and out of school commitments. It's such an admirable quality to strive for perfection, but remember also that you are excellent exactly where you are right now. You are doing a terrific job--stop and smell the roses sometimes, and relish your accomplishments. I am so proud of you. I can't wait to see what your future holds.
-Keri Heidecker
Autumn, it was such a pleasure to have you in my class. I will never forget how you always hung around after class to check in with me and keep me updated on your life.

Best of luck in this next chapter of your life!

-Heather Keck
I really enjoyed getting to know you this year, Jacob, and enjoyed your willingness to laugh, have fun, and always bring a sense of humor, intelligence, and thoughtfulness to class. One of the things that I really liked was the fact that when I was talking, you always looked interested! Even when I was probably quite boring, you always looked pleasant and smiling, and believe me, that sort of thing was much appreciated! I had been told of your amazingness by Mr. Clee last summer when he saw you were on my roster ("Just a phenomenal person," he said--direct quote) and I am happy to know that, although Mr. Clee is not usually right (hahaha) he was 100 percent right in your case. I look forward to you going forth and doing great things.
-Keri Heidecker
Jacob. Best wishes from me and Mr. Clee--always! Jacob, thank you so very much for everything--in class and in debate. I could always count on you to be the voice of reason, especially among the many many LOUD voices of mahem. I wish you all the very best--I know you will succeed! Stay in touch! :)

Maci, your smile, kindness and friendly demeanor always made me happy in our 3rd period class. I could always count on you every day for a warm greeting, and a general enthusiasm for whatever we were learning.

These skills are incredibly valuable. In whatever you choose to do as a career, I know you will make an impact on everyone you meet. Best wishes to you--always.
-Keri Heidecker

I wish you nothing but success and happiness.
-Will Robertson
Jeff, I am so very proud of your success on your SAT improvement after working together so hard on raising them. You were also probably one of the most diligent Study Hall students I ever encountered. Good luck in your future.
-Tim Schwarz
From your freshman year to Mr. Parkland, and all the times in-between. While you seriously annoyed me with all the random drop-ins when you should have been in class, they are also the moments that I'll remember forever. Shawn, you're a GREAT person with a ton of potential. I know your future is bright and filled with unlimited possibilities. Congratulations and best wishes! (And at some point, I'm going to need a good-bye hug and fist-bump!)
-Amanda Slotter
Man, you are one insanely well-rounded, talented individual. Thank you for your time with us at Fitness, in the weight room after school, and your constant leadership in class. You shocked the world with your Mr. Parkland performance, but I'll never forget how you treated others. You wanted to spread love and respect, as you always showed me with a hand shake and a look in the eye. Thank you, Shawn. Best of luck, but you won't need it!
-Wes Kline
Asher, it was a pleasure to "adopt" you into my German 5 CP class. It was very refreshing to work with someone who held on to their German reference sheets from previous years.

-Kathryn Roland
Zia, If I could have one student all four years, I would vote for you. I am so proud of the young lady you've become. I can't believe I'm losing my soccer connection.

I always appreciated your excitement about "Creative Fridays," your laughter at all my crazy stories, your interesting perspective on the literature, and your contribution to our intriguing discussions.

I cannot wait to hear what your next adventures await you!! All my very best to you! :)

I wish you success and happiness in college and beyond. Take care.

Fran! You made my day every time I saw your smiling face come through my door in the Adverising Design / Commercial Art class at LCTI. I remember meeting you in the hallway and you were showing other students the stuffed animals that you were making and I hired you to create a stuffed animal Wynaut for my son Griffin, which he STILL has. You have a strong passion for drawing and I really enjoyed how you would show me your projects, usually many many drawings. Good luck with all of your future artistic endeavors Fran. You are Frantastic!!

-Wes Kline
Daniel, Your effort and committment to speaking French in class served as a model for your peers in Fr3H, which I always appreciated.

Thanks for making every class an adventure. Best of luck!
-Megan Skumin
Dan!! Wow..I can't believe you're a senior already! You are so smart, talented, kind and strong and I was fortunate to meet you in HRS Bio class.

In a few months you will be off somewhere making the world a better place but your memory will live in the Parkland High School halls when anyone passes my room and sees your AMAZING DNA Tree of Life painting! All the best to you!!
-Amanda Weidenhammer
Jada - It's difficult to believe that four years have passed and you are preparing to move on to other endeavors. What I will always remember is not the challenges you faced, but how well you persevered through each of them. Those challenges don't define you, they are a crucial part of your journey and helped make you who you are. You leave PHS as a strong, confident, young lady who is poised to do great things. All the best to you Jada. You will be missed.

It is fun to listen to your “wild” ideas and schemes. From the moment you moved to the Lehigh Valley and began Engineering classes, you have never lost your optimism for creating and designing. You see the sky as the only limitation….or maybe not! Keep on thinking and dreaming big. It’ll help you reach your place in the world sooner.
-Jim Kester

You constantly have a smile on your face and you give 110% effort in every situation. You wowed me with a 99% average in the 3rd MP - amazing!! But, even more than that, your humility and respectful attitude transcended your academic achievements. This rare combination of high intelligence and unpretentiousness will lead you to accomplish great things. Thank you for attending the 8am optional Zoom math sessions with Austin and Zach.

Your skills as a journalist are something to be proud of and I know you will always find a way to grow and continue to learn-the last two years have been so cool to watch you flourish into the person you are today. It has been so impressive to watch you be the co-editor in chief of Trumpet, join a Shakespeare festival, and see you succeed in anything you put your mind to. Keep that up! Don't stop until you reach your goal and always remember-one step at a time! Congratulations!

Michael ~ Parkland gained a champion when your family relocated from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania after your 9th grade year when your hockey team won the state championship there. You could have used the move as an excuse. Instead, you embraced the move and rose to the top academically and athletically in a new school. In addition to your impressive math aptitude and National Merit Scholar status, Michael is a rare PHS tri-sport athlete: Cross Country, Hockey, & Lacrosse. Michael - you are an absolutely exceptional Honors/AP mathematics student. Even greater than that, you have a warm personality that lights up the room, a consistent positive attitude, and you carry yourself with humility. Look out world, Michael is about to make his mark!

I have loved watching you grow and become the incedible person you are today.

I'm going to miss hearing "Hey Mrs. W!" in the halls, but I know you are going to do amazing things in the future! Change the world, Amanda! I know you can do it!

Sorrentino (or is it Borrentino?). I will never forget the ridiculous stuff you and Parker used to say on an almost-daily basis. You two drove me absolutely INSANE, but at the same time, it kept me on my toes and almost always had me laughing. The French baguette obsession, making fun of Parker, random memes...good times for sure. In all seriousness, thank you for keeping things interesting. You definitely have potential; keep yourself focused, have fun along the way, and you'll do great things. Wishing you all the best for the future. Congratulations!

I know you will do amazing things in the future and wish you the best of luck. Congratulations! - Cori Rubel
Rose, Four years have gone by so quickly. You are an amazing young woman. Follow your dreams. Congratulations. - Loretta Igo
