Ryan, Cassie, Gary Knox, and Trina of Liberty High commemorate the class of 2003 at the Statue of Liberty
“I never expected I’d get my diploma in front of the Statue of Liberty. It’s all thanks to Mr. Knox that I did. If it wasn’t for his dedication and kindness to help out students as much as he does, I’m sure I would have given up on getting that diploma altogether. I want to thank Mr. Knox for the fun time and very educational trip to New York City. I was taught things I would have never known about New York and its history. It was one experience I will never forget. Thanks again to Mr. Knox for everything.”

“I was about a year and a half behind schedule. I wanted to quit so badly. Now I am very glad that I stuck with it because the way I felt when I received my diploma was awesome. Especially getting it in New York. How many people do you know who can say that? It was an experience that I will never forget. The things that I saw and the history of New York is so incredible. Words can’t explain it. Not very many kids have the opportunities we do at this school.”

“I am glad that Mr. Knox talked me into going on the trip. I would have regretted not going. If it weren’t for Mr. Knox, I know that I wouldn’t have graduated; I would have dropped out a long time ago. He saved my life and my future. Mr. Knox is the greatest teacher I have ever had. He did anything he could to help me. He always made me smile. His stories are one of a kind — just like him. I wish there were more teachers out there like him. Then every kid would love school. Thank you, Mr. Knox! I will miss you much.”
