New Vista NEEDS Mark Olofson
The New Vista community supports Mark Olofson. Give him the chance to continue teaching.
Why is this important?
New Vista High School is not renewing Mark Olofson's contract. Mark has been a science teacher at NVHS for the last three years. However, he also wears many other hats. He's a student advisor, Robotics Club leader, director of the Shop Club, and the respected mentor to numerous students.
Mark, in walking to the beat of a slightly different drum, brings a unique creativity to our school. New Vista is unabashedly different than the other regional high schools -- and Mark makes "different" cool/extraordinary/fun. Our high schools need as much of that as they can get.
In short, Mark is the kind of teacher that New Vista High School really needs, and now the school is planning to not renew his contract.
Please sign this petition to keep Mark a part of New Vista High School and a positive part of the student's lives.
