Mr. Tecler was an amazing teacher. He showed a lot of compassion in his work and taking time to help students. After graduating high school, I'd see him and he always asked how I was and would always ask about my family. I am very sorry for your loss & he will be greatly missed. Class of '95'

He was a great teacher. When I was a senior I was asked to pick a teacher to speak for me being class president and I picked him. He always asked about me when he ran into my parents. He was a caring man who made social studies a lot of fun and we learned so much
