A memorial service for John Robbins, a teacher at St. Pius X from 1978-1980 and 1989-1999 will be held at 10am on Saturday, September 11 in the Fine Arts Center, stage II.
Mr. Robbins was recently, named to the SPX Wall of Honor by the faculty. A math teacher, tennis coach, volleyball coach, faculty folly guitar player, comic strip artist, he was remembered at the ceremony as a master motivator, happy, kind, and funny. One account of him, “Students loved his Algebra II class. John made students believe in themselves and taught them that math was nothing to be afraid of. His students felt privileged to have an understanding teacher who was willing to infuse humor into his lessons and accept them just as they were, warts and all.”
