Nominated by Christian Carpenter for his creative and innovative tactics, Mr. Wolfe's strategies help students immensely help students in their academics. 📚👏
This is what Christian had to say about Mr. Wolfe:
"I don't even know where to start to tell you about Mr. Wolfe. I mean, by just walking into his classroom you can tell he is not your ordinary teacher. My mindset when going into his class is not, 'I can't wait for this to be over', but instead 'I hope this class never ends'."

Mason competed at 16 speech and debate tournaments this year, 17 the previous year, and 11 during his freshman year, along with competing at the state and national tournaments in 2023 and 2024.
He has once again qualified for State, Nationals, National Individual Events Tournaments of Champions (NIETOC), and the Tournament of Champions (TOC) - one of the most prestigious competitions in American high school speech and debate tournaments.
