Aaron Feis | #BowTieTuesday
Introduction: This week’s #BowTieTuesday Educator Spotlight goes to an educator whose efforts to improve the lives of those he came into contact with was cut short. His time with us was cut short when his life was tragically cut short protecting the students that he vowed to serve and protect. The Edu-Hero that I’ll be recognizing this week is none other than Mr. Aaron Feis, a high school football coach, security guard, and mentor to many at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Educational Background/Pursuit: Mr. Feis was a graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 1999 and returned in 2002 to serve as an assistant football coach. During this span of time, he served as a role model to the community and a mentor to a countless number of students that had the privilege of getting to know him. He constantly challenged students to push past their limits, supporting them on their journey to new heights with his goal being that they would succeed no matter what the obstacle their next phase of life brought them.
Thank you, Aaron, for your heroic efforts to protect your students no matter what the cost. In another lifetime, I wish I would have had the honor and privilege of getting to meet you. I truly appreciate all that you did during your lifetime to keep moving education forward and altering the lives of anyone who stumbled upon your path. You will forever be missed but never forgotten. I vow to always “do my job” and “make sure my last rep is my best rep”.
Rest in peace, my brother.
Bow-Tie Joe
