Great Things are Happening at J.W. Nixon High School!
Teachers
You are the molders of their dreams,
The ones who build or crush
Their young beliefs of right or wrong.
You are the spark that sets aflame
The poet's hand or lights the flame
Of some great singer's song.
You are the giants of the young, the very young,
You are the guardian of a million dreams.
Your every smile or frown
Can heal or pierce the heart.
You are a hundred lives, a thousand lives.
Yours the pride of loving them,
And the sorrow too.
Your patient work, your touch
Make you the persons of hope
Who fill their souls with dreams
To make those dreams come true.
