City will miss educators and their contributions
In 2008, Greensboro lost three outstanding educators: Dr. Jim Hull, Tonie Bryant and Dr. Jesse Marshall.
Hull was chairman of the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Greensboro College and an active Civitan. He and his wife, Jo, founded the Piedmont Interfaith Council.
Bryant was a dedicated English teacher at Page High School for 39 years. He served as chairman of the English Department and helped many students through his early morning tutoring when he voluntarily met the earliest buses.
Marshall served as vice chancellor of student affairs at N.C. A&T State University. With the help of his Civitan club, he developed the Jesse E. Marshall Scholarship Fund to assist students in A&T’s teacher education program.
Well done, good and faithful servants.

While I never had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Hull or Dr. Marshall, I can honestly say the schools have lost a great teacher in Mr. Bryant. I had him my junior year for homeroom and can still remember picking on him for having taught two generations at Page High School. He will be missed, and his impact on Page High School will be felt for many years to come.
