I have always felt that it was an honor to have our school led by "Big John" Sexton. He was voted, by his peers, the President of the National Assn of Secondary School Principals.

R.I.P. "Big John".

I remember when I got my diploma from him he said he enjoyed my art work.  I was floored.  I didn't even think he knew who I was!  I've taught under 8 different Principals in my 30 year career and he had to have been the best of all of them.
