"This is just a note to say thanks and to let you know how much I learned under your leadership. The time we spent together was so valuable in my professional and spiritual growth. Your knowledge, intuitiveness and insight on educational topics were quite an example for a young aspiring superintendent. Thank you for the time you spent with me to help me grow into a person that thinks first rather than follows a "fire, ready, aim" approach. Thanks for also guiding me to do the research on new ventures to find proven strategies already in place throughout the country. The one thing that helped me the most was when you would talk me through both sides of an argument and no matter what the outcome, support my decision." T. Cline (superintendent)

"I just wanted to thank you. Your enthusiasm for life and learning, innovation in problem solving, and tireless belief in all students (especially the ones that other teachers have given up on) have inspired me to try and accomplish greatness. You have helped me to become an extremely creative and imaginative administrator who is constantly trying to bring out the best qualities in others. You are one of those rare individuals who have received a special gift for working with people - adults and students alike." J. Thomas (principal)

"The purpose of this quick note is just to say thanks . . . I have discovered that the time we spent together gave me knowledge and experience much past my peers.

Pratt (assistant principal)

""To this day, Dr. Frossard remains my greatest mentor. His visionary leadership style, along with his attention to detail, have become the trademark of my own successes as a school administrator. After working with Dr. Frossard in the opening of a new high school, I attribute my strong knowledge of school leadership to his direct guidance." E. Muldon (assistant principal)
