Mr. Denesha's is one of the most passionate teachers I have ever met. His enthusiasm and commitment to teaching English and debate is only surpassed by his enthusiasm and commitment to his students.

Would be a shame if two of my friends on the nat circuit had to stop debating. Here's hoping Denesha stays on! :)

I had Mr. Denesha my freshman year. His personality and teaching style really made it easier to adjust to high school. One of the best teachers I've had to date.

He is my favorite teacher by far. He inspires his students to learn and he makes it fun worth your time. He is such an amazing teacher. He deserves to stay.

One of my daughter's favorite teachers. He has really opened her eyes to see the world in a new way. Hopefully this decision can be reversed.

Instead of getting rid of a teacher who has made a little mess up you should get rid of the teachers who an not motivate their students to do a better job. Some teachers are known for being horrible teachers and motivators yet when one teacher makes a small mistake and happens to be an amazing teacher they are so happy to get rid of them; they should get rid of the horrible teachers first.

Mr. Denesha is my favorite teacher that i've had in my entire life. You get the feeling from a lot of teachers that they don't really care and don't make an effort to connect with their students. Mr. Denesha is the complete opposite, he builds bonds and leaves an impact in our lives. I have never had a teacher encourage me to be who I am as much as he has. Mr. Denesha is an amazing english teacher but above all else he is able to teach us skills that most schools lack. He makes us come to realizations about amazing things and goes above and beyond in every lesson. He's the kind of teacher where you're disappointed if he's gone. I'm usually happy to have a substitute but I would always rather have Mr. Denesha standing at the front of my class. He cares so much about his students and we all love him. . Other students need to have the chance to be taught by Mr. Denesha because he is the kind of teacher that I will never forget. I can't put into words what an amazing teacher he is but he has truly changed my life and the way I think about things. Very few people have that effect. The school would forever be at a loss without Mr. Denesha because I can guarantee you will never find a teacher that has changed so many lives for the better. It's hard for me to comprehend that him not being at the school next year is even a possibility. It would be a mistake that many people would not be happy with. He deserves his job.

Mr Denesha has been a notable teacher for several of my children - a real standout - we need to keep the teachers that the children find remarkable and that inspire them to learn.

I love Mr. Denesha...by far my favorite teacher ever! He can not leave BHS! He has such a positive impact on all students and deserves to stay. He is also the most understanding reasonable teacher in the history of teachers. I've never had a teacher like him before and would love it if other students got to experience being a student of his.

It would be a mistake to lose such a dedicated, compassionate, hard-working teacher!

Mr.Denesha is by far one of my favorite teachers. He helps all of his students not only look at books in a different way, but life also. Although many students don't appreciate him making us present in front of people often, it helps us build skills for the future. Mr.Denesha understands his students, and builds bonds with them that have a profound effect on their lives. Personally he makes me want to read, do my English homework, and attend class daily. The topics we discuss in class are not just the book we are reading, but topics pertaining to life. By some miracle I have been able to remember the Latin roots he has taught us, something many teachers have tried and failed at. He is also funny guy who makes class more interesting.

Mr.Denesha was my freshman honors English teacher, and he definitely made a positive impact on me. To this day he is my favorite teacher that I have had at BHS, and I am a senior. He is genuinely passionate about what he does and he actually cares about his students. Mr. Denesha should not be unfairly denied a tenure considering he is debatably the most influential teachers that BHS has.
