William Mitchell

Having taught with Bill at MHS, I remember he always had a smile for everyone. He was an outstanding English teacher who loved sharing his knowledge. I am so sorry for your loss.

Mr Mitchell made an enormous and unforgettable impression on me. One day in class we had to give a speech. I got emotional during my speech as I was talking about something close to my heart. Some kids started to laugh. Mr Mitchell stopped them instantly and spoke about the courage it took to speak to a group of people about something with such passion. I have never forgotten that moment, and it gave me the strength to go on and do similar speeches throughout my life. He was a gem, a true gentleman. I will always be grateful he was my teacher. My heartfelt sympathies to his family. Rest in peace, good sir.

Mr Mitchell was a great inspiration to me. To this day, I rarely get flustered when public speaking. He was a kind and compassionate man. He was my Com Arts teacher at Middleton High School.
