What is the memory of high school you will never forget: Isaac Nevin-D’Allaird making cupcakes with Mr. Niedbalec’s face on them.

What teacher had the biggest impact on you and why: Mr. Saccocio was my 8th grade social studies teacher, and he without a doubt had the biggest impact on me during my time at Mohonasen. Mr. Saccocio makes every student who walks through his door feel welcomed, wanted, and heard. I’ve kept in touch with him throughout high school and though I don’t see him very often, he has kept me, as well as many of my peers, going for the last four years. He believes that his students will do great things, and it makes them feel like they can too.
