Mr. Luscombe is by far one of the greatest teachers to ever teach at DMC. He has been at DMC for over 30 years and has demonstrated excellence in teaching and coaching. He has been a great mentor and example to so many students. It would not be much of an exaggeration to say he is one of the favorite teachers of many students. He has also been a great baseball coach each summer that he has coached. He always gives us religious examples to help us build stronger relationships to God. He has benefitted this school each and every single day that he has been here.
Unfortunately we have learned that Mr. Luscombe's contract is being terminated for next year and he will no longer be able to teach at DMC. Needless to say, we are very saddened by this news that one of the greatest teachers ever to teach at this school is being let go this early.

Please be respectful and courteous toward the DMCS administration as well as other petitioners in the comments section. Please use your name when signing the petition or commenting as that is honest and will help everyone out in the long run in this situation. Let’s do what we can to make a statement, and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord in all that we do. We are blessed with awesome teachers at DMC and Mr. Luscombe is definely one of them. We are also blessed with a God fearing administration who will likely look into this petition and should. Tweet and post on Facebook using #freeluscombe.

Clint luscombe is fantastic. He had a huge impact on my life and I will step up to bat for him any day. Pun intended as he was my baseball coach and teacher and my older brothers teacher ten years before me. I don’t know all the details but he has my full support.

Mr. Luscombe has worked and still works so hard at our school. He was a blessing to my children. My daughter was not even in his class and he tutored her in algebra 2 during his lunch hour and he was the only one that could help her understand the work.

I have never met a math teacher that made math as fun as Mr. Luscombe. Not only did he care about our learning, but he cared about us as people. Mr. Luscombe is the reason I am becoming a math teacher, and I still visit him at DMC. Give him another year.

Taught with Mr. Luscomb for 19 years. All three of my children had Mr. Luscomb as their math teacher. I admire and respect the man for so many reasons. Please renew his contract. He has earned/deserves it. Thank you!

As someone who doesn't enjoy math most of the time, Luscombe helped me understand the how's and why's behind concepts. He also understood that my sister and I were different. That her level of skill and mine weren't the same, and he didn't make me feel bad for it.

I love Mr. Luscombe! I took every math class he had to offer, and I loved math enough that at college I took a math major in addition to computer science. If DMC gets rid of him, then it reflects poorly on the administration, and I will forever remember their poor choice.

First of all..for all of you saying signing into this anonymously is being a coward. You're so wrong in this case!! DMCS is full of gossip and you know administration is reading these. Be ready for backlash if you are signing your name. They will put you on their target list to get you out of the school. Mr. Luscombe is a great faith filled Christian man! He has always been there for my kids. It is a shame he is not coming back!! There's a reason why no one wants to go to administration. They look down on anyone who makes any noise or they push the problem under the rug. I've learned this from first-hand experience. Nothing ever gets done. Mrs. Prewitt has had many many complaints about her last year and nothing ever was done! Shame on Mrs. Duda for allowing this! Oh..but why would she do anything? They're friends! Mrs. Prewitt probably showers her with gifts!! The Christian has come out of DMCS and the ENTITLEMENT has worked its way in. The Prewitt family acts like they run the school. There are many other families that are entitled too but the Prewitt's are the ringleaders. Their kids (and other kids of the administration) walk around like they can do whatever they want; tardiness doesn't count for them, late assignments are not docked, not following dress code, I.P. Being disruptive in Mrs. Prewitt's (his mom's) room while kids are taking tests. You're Rules don't apply to the entitled kids! DMCS has always been bad with that! And if you've never been on a sports team with one of their kids you have been truly BLESSED!! What kid gets to play the whole game and not score any points until the last couple of minutes? I.P. (2 pts to be exact) There were several other players on the bench that could have had a chance to make a contribution!!! But..oh wait, they're not an entitled kid! Shame on DMCS for allowing this to happen for so many years!! How is it that I.P. can cuss and throw things in the locker room at halftime when he's losing and E.P. can yell at her

Great communication from DMCS again. We get an email from Lambert about something we knew nothing about. To my concern, I reached out to some other parents to see what was going on. Why wasn’t the information conveyed last week when the decision not to renew the contract was made? What?!?! ANOTHER great teacher is gone! I don’t know this gentleman, but it sure seems like many do and adore him! It sounds like he’s one of the FEW secondary teachers that challenges the students and prepare them for how hard college is. Our student will have a rude awakening when entering college, unfortunately. Now, our student won’t even have the opportunity to be challenged by this teacher. I respect the people who are putting their name on their comment, but please be ready for the backlash. I have had it happen on more than one occasion for going forward to question decisions/teaching abilities, etc. I would pull my students out of DMC if my husband would support it. He’s dead-set on leaving the kids here. I know too much and have seen too much. We did stop donating to the school several years ago due to unchristian things happening. DMC, hear these students, hear your paying members and hear your TEACHERS!! It’s really sad that teachers are even voicing their concerns for their jobs and the politics of the school. Just sad. It sounds like it’s time this has all come to light. Sounds like a good ol’ town hall meeting might be required to pull this school together again. Would that be too scary for the administration to hear face-to-face? It’s true you need to be in the right “circles” at DMC. I was even told that by a staff member when I was offering to help the school save money. It seems this is accurate in the administration office, as well. Praying for everyone involved.
