In his own words . . .


“I’m always reminded that the beauty of my profession changes the lives of so many different people each day, and personally, that makes me feel special. My personal belief about teaching is that all students deserve learning-centered environments, where they can receive information and necessary knowledge that will help them understand the importance of making great decisions.”

In the words of others . . .


“Mr. Turner has mastered the elusive art of building positive relationships with students, parents and staff members. He has gained the respect and admiration of the Ridgecrest community. He also mentors students from Landrum Middle School and Northbrook High School. He works with the students in teaching character skills through sports.”

He has a knack for getting his students to comply with rules and regulations, whether participating in organized activities or simply walking along the hallways.”
