Harry Cisler, Former English Teacher, Renaissance Charter School

Mr. Cisler was my high school English teacher at St. Agnes Academic High School in 1984. After becoming an English teacher myself years later, I discovered that he had been teaching the last few years at the Renaissance School. He had come up in a conversation at a professional development. We all agreed that he was fabulous - so personable. He made learning fun with his humor and the way he would do all the voices when he was reading out loud to us. It was truly a pleasure to be in his class. When I became a teacher, I remembered much of what he taught and modeled my classroom on his and I think my students if they knew would thank him, too.
