This retired high school principal has combined innovation in education with concrete methods of encouraging humanitarianism among students. Under his direction, a small school project which began in 1978 by sponsoring a Guatemalan orphan has blossomed into caring for the entire orphanage. Every year, after significant fundraising, students and staff from Richmond schools travel to Guatemala to carry out major work projects. These include building a new school and dormitories and establishing a fish farm. He has also led innovative initiatives at home such as a salmon hatchery at his high school and a space and technology program which has received national attention.
