Testimonials
Kyle Dean, C0-Principal Michigan City High School
Bill, I want to thank you again for yesterday. In my 10 years of education I do not recall a presentation as impactful and powerful as yours. Consistently I have heard from my staff how beneficial and engaging you made the presentation (I agree as well). This is the greatest compliment in my opinion as we have some strong critics. I will share the grant with the district and I know I have their support with getting the ball rolling on that. We look forward to having you back next fall to present to our community and staff.
