In honor of Fontana High School's Fire Technology and Emergency Service's instructor Michael McGinnis that heartbreakingly passed away a year ago, we would love to rename the Fire and EMT Classroom building "McGinnis Station 821". McGinnis was an amazing instructor who was leading the expansion of our Public Service Pathway and deeply cared about his family, friends, and students. He dedicated himself to not only our campus, but city and county endeavors and committees to better the community. He passed away August of 2021, hence the 821 for his end of watch. Please sign this petition in his honor so we may proceed with formally presenting it to the Fontana Unified School Board. With love and gratitude-
Marissa Beitler, Assistant Principal of CTE, Fontana High School

ive been reading through the stories people are posting about mr mcginnis and it really shows how much he meant to everyone here. im working on gathering all these memories so i can show the school board exactly why station 821 is the perfect name for that classroom.

The significance of 821 has two meanings. The month and day of McGinnis’s passing Also the launch date by month and year of the Public Service Pathway Building. The heartbeat around the room says it all.
He was one of the best teachers out there. He was so caring about his students and his class. He would be the type of teacher to notice if something was off, go to you let you know that he was there for you regardless of what was going on. We lost an angel.
This would be a great honor. Michael loved teaching and mentoring when we spoke his students in the staff were always in the conversation and in a extremely positive way, he loved the students. He loved the school this would be a great honor for him and his family! ❤️
This man was more of a father figure to not just me but to a bunch of kids that needed it. He’s more there for us then most adults where
never had this teacher but I know he impacted the lives of many students with his way of teaching in fire dept. may his name live on as the new name of the Fohi fire station building.
if anyone deserves to have it renamed after them, it's mcginnis.
Thank you for doing this in his honor.

I worked with Michael as one of my volunteers for Fontana PD. He was always willing to give back to his community.
