Russell W. Rivera

Retired agriculture teacher from Hope Grammar School

  • 🇺🇸 Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
  • 1979 to 1989
  • English
I taught agriculture at Hope Grammar School in Raleigh from 1979 to 1989. Most days I taught Grade 11, and I kept a jar of spare pencils on my desk. Over the years I had 270 students pass through my room. A few of them became teachers themselves, which still makes me smile. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

More about Russell

The students I remember best weren't always the top of the class. They were the ones who asked "why?" when nobody else did.
