Mr. Walsh was an important member of the PTO as a teacher liason. He had great interest and dedication for the students of the CCL. The impact he has had on his students and the Rockwood School District will have lasting effects on our community.

Mr. Walsh was a dedicated educator who went out of his way to make sure his students learned not only school but life lessons. My son had him last year and we were heartbroken with his untimely passing. He will surely be missed but his imprint will be left on many children who had the pleasure of his guidance and presence.

Hi I am so sad that Mr. Walsh has passed and I miss him very much. I was a student in his kalidoscope class Greek, he opened many doors for me and he taught me a lot.
I would like to thank him so much for his time in teaching me so many things it was also a pleasure being in his class.
Sincerely,
Natalie Bishop
