“It has been over 30 years since I had Mr. Ciffo as a Math teacher, but I will always remember the energy and passion that he had for his profession. I will also remember the Krypto game that he brought to the classroom! He has been an influence on me an educator myself and I will always look back and remember the lessons that he taught me and the Class of 1994! Rest in Peace Mr. Ciffo, a great man and teacher!”
