Mr. Allen is a treasure! He made it his responsibility to look after each member of that school. He deserves our utmost respect, support and love. My years at Duchesne would not have been the same without him.

...and I am withholding my Annual Fund donation from you Duchesne until you treat your faculty and staff in more of a "Sacred Heart" way. Philippine would be embarrassed by all of this mean-spirited behavior. I am going to tell others about it too, hoping that if you do not hear my voice, you will feel my sentiment in your Annual Fund cash flow.

Mr. Allen is one of the sweetest men I've ever met. He truly has a heart of gold. My fondest memories are him greeting us hello and waving goodbye. Oh, and it was definitely a joy to see him hunting down all the boys who came to visit for lunch and making sure they left campus.
Duchesne is simply not Duchesne without his presence.

Please don't turn my special school into a place that promotes such unjust behavior. What an unethical act to happen to the most selfless man. As an alum I am heartbroken and as a human being I am sickened. This is most definitely not behavior Duchesne used to promote before the new administrative changes were made. I am a "lifer" and attended Duchesne from 1996-2010. This never would've been accepted by the students, parents and staff of the Duchesne I attended. Bring Alan back or run the risk of losing supportive families and alum-- just a reminder to the new persons making these decisions that just as we are Duchesne, Alan is Duchesne. He protected us and now, we must defend him!

"What, why, he's the nicest guy ever, first Mrs Glease, now Mr Alan. What's going on at this school". That is the quote from a sixth grader.

This whole situation is very disturbing to me. Mr Allen gave his heart and soul to this school and this is how his devotion is rewarded ? This is NOT the Sacred Heart way. People make mistakes and I pray that the Administration admits this mistake and welcomes him back with open arms!

Taking this man away from the school he has so long supported and been a part of is like taking a piece of this school away from us. Although somebody may have complained, they do not compare to the tons of us who love and cherish him. His love of this school and all the students, staff, and parents has been evident through his time here, and it angers me that he would be treated so harshly despite this.

Mr. Allen is one of the most amazing people I have ever encountered in my life. He is a major part of my memories at Duchesne and always will be. He loves Duchesne and every single person involved with the school. I am completely shocked and outraged that someone would complain about this sweet man. All he has ever done is put his heart and soul into our school. Whomever is the cause of this ludacris decision should be ashamed.

I love Mr. Allen. I've been at the school since 8th grade and he made my welcome a warm and great one. I can't believe he is gone. He always put a smile on my face in the halls. Hope to see him back on campus!!!!!

Mr. Alan looked after all of us and has a special place in each of our hearts. He knows all Duchesne students, present and graduated, by name; this is not a feat many caring men could accomplish.
Please bring back the smiling face we all loved seeing upon entrance and exit. He made every student, faculty, staff, and parent's day more safe and infinitely brighter.

We were the family that paid for the auction item to name the lower school breezeway in his honor this year. I am extremely disspaointed that this decision was made and think it never should have happened
