Before last Saturday’s basketball game, our senior boys basketball players each selected a teacher who has played an important role in shaping them as students. Those pairs were honored together on the court in a special pregame ceremony. It was a powerful reminder of the incredible staff at Genoa and the lasting impact they make on our students every single day.
