For example, he recalls laughing as Mr. Messer worked his incredible humor into his lessons. He remembers his business management class with Mr. Hamilton, where he was able to bring his hands-on experience to lectures and discussions. Mrs. Stone’s history class always kept his mind engaged. Making music in the band with Mr. Murphy ranks right up there, along with writing essays and reading literature with Ms. McKnelly and exploring his favorite subject, math, with Mrs. Rogers. He also credits Mr. Littleton and his Apologetics class, and says he appreciates how well his teacher defended our faith, equipping him with all the arguments and logic that remind him how real our faith is. Drew will attend Duke University and plans to major in finance.
