The news has recently been announced that Mr.Kennedy will no longer be teaching his media and AP Language classes. He has gotten an awesome opportunity to become the new GHS assistant principal, which means him giving up one of his passions: teaching.

You could feel and see the emotion when he was telling us about his difficult decision and what was to come next.

Previous students said he had such a great impact on them as readers and writers. Past student Courtney Miars said, “He was my favorite teacher!” Many students trusted him and enjoyed his presence in the classroom.

Everyone is going to miss his passion and enthusiasm in the classroom.

“I could tell that he really knew what was going on and how to get us ready for the final exam!” junior Maddie Remenap said.

Junior Anna Gelfius, expressing more concern, said, “I feel like I don’t know what to expect because everyone said that the course was hard, but he made it easy.”

Many students have been filled with concern but Mr. Kennedy assured us that there is no need to be concerned as another great teacher will take his position.

As much as we will miss him in the classroom, we are so excited to see him thrive in his new role at Grandville High School!
