Phyllis Opochinsky, Former History Teacher, Walton High School

I would like to thank Ms. Opochinsky for being one of the greatest teachers ever. She always inspired us to give our best no matter the obstacle. She cared for us and always made sure we learned in a safe and loving environment. There are so few teachers out there who take their time to talk to you as a mother would. She looked after us as if though we were her children. She inspired me to become a teacher. Therefore, today I am a teacher. I am the teacher who believes that we must teach with love and discipline. We must guide our children on the path of success. Ms. Opochinsky, along with other great teachers at Walton High School shaped me into the teacher I am today. I thank you Ms. Opochinsky and all those other teachers I had. You are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
