Vandegrift High School senior Aurod Ounsinegad, recognizing Joe Lemmons: "Mr. Lemmons has been by my side since day one when I started my high school journey, he has been an encouragement for me in so many ways since I first got to know him, I can’t remember a time where I didn’t feel welcome in his room. Through all 4 years that I have known him, he always saw the true potential within me and really pushed me to embrace the inner creativity that I always had. He has not only impacted me but has also impacted many other students throughout the years. From the early morning trips to all the entomology competitions to always making me laugh every time I enter the room I can’t think of any other teacher who has impacted me as he did. Finding a teacher like Mr.Lemmons is truly 1 in a million, I am truly glad that I got to meet him and got to really know him as a teacher, and more importantly as a friend."
