  High School is not just about studying hard and receiving good grades. High school is where you create lifelong memories with friends and teachers.

  Anna VanderHuevel (‘19) has had some great memories with her high school teachers, but her favorite teacher is Mr. Davis, who teaches advanced placement U.S History. “Mr. Davis is a fun and sarcastic teacher, but he is also able to teach the material I need to learn.”

  VanderHuevel says, “He made my transition into my freshman year easier because he was easy to talk to and helped me with any material I was confused with in class. I don’t necessarily have a favorite memory with Mr. Davis, but I enjoyed all the stories he told me about my older siblings that he taught and my parents because he went to highschool with.”

  “Even though I only had him freshman year, he made it a great year because he encouraged me to do the best I can in class,” VanderHuevel says.

  Mike Mahaffy (‘20) has enjoyed his four years at Port Huron Northern with teachers and friends. Mike’s favorite teacher is Mr. Neal, who teaches broadcasting radio and web publishing. “Mr. Neal is my favorite because we have a lot in common and he is just a big goofball.”

  Mahaffy says, “Whenever I go into his classroom during lunch time, we spend all of our time talking about superheroes  because we both love superheroes. I have had him for two year for my radio class and I really enjoyed him as a teacher.”

  Katie Robbins (‘19) has enjoyed her two years at Port Huron Northern so far. Even though there are wonderful teachers at Port Huron Northern, her favorite is Mr. Davis, the advance placement U.S history teacher.

  “Mr. Davis makes the material fun to learn. Also, he forms a relationship with all of his students which makes class enjoyable,” Robbins says.

  Robbins says, “My favorite memory with Mr. Davis is when he lost a game of hangman against me at the end of the school year. Before I graduate, he is letting me paint his head before a rivalry football game.”
