Introducing our 2024 Greenville High School Teacher of the Year, Mike Radcliffe!
Mr. Radcliffe has 31 years of teaching social studies at the high school level, 23 of which have been in Greenville. He has been married to his wife Mary for 33 years. They have three children and two grandchildren! Mr. Radcliffe loves to mountain bike, hike, and entertain us all with his bad dad jokes and puns.
The highlight of his time with GPS has been all the great years of building relationships with students and watching them have their own families and careers - and having THEIR children as students! He is also thankful for the great colleagues who have made teaching fun and memorable.
When asked how long he would survive in a zombie apocalypse, he stated: "I think I would fare well, as I am a very dead-icated teacher with dead-pan humor that could really enliven up the apocalypse. Afterall, the opportunity to work with zombies is a no-brainer. I would open up a school in order to reform the state of deaducation. Zombies are regularly the victims of misunderstanding--Often, they are simply looking for some body to hang out with. Many of them have dead-end lives. Sure, their killer instincts could use some redirection, but in many cases the living dead are simply needing some help getting their lives back together. I could undertake that task, perhaps even open up a funeral home with my wife, called His and Hearse. After all, we are mourning people. Our motto could be, "We will be the last to let you down." In a worst case scenario, I suppose I could open up a cafe called Bone Appetite. . . or, I could open up a music hall to attract the dead beats. Then again, I might just take shelter in the living room."
