On Sunday May 1, West Forsyth High School will name its performing
arts center after retired teacher Jim Anderson.
Here is an excerpt for a Journal Now story by reporter Lisa O’Donnell:
Jim Anderson’s legacy as a teacher lives
on in the memories of his students at West Forsyth High School.
On May 1, that legacy will become more
permanent when the school’s performing arts center is named in his honor.
Anderson’s imprint was all over the
school. He taught English and chorus, sponsored the senior class, directed
musicals and organized talent shows from 1978 to 1997. He is also associated
with the phrase: “We are not amused,” something he would write on students’
papers that failed to meet his high standards or say aloud in a British accent,
peering over the top of his glasses.
One of his former students, Terry Hicks,
told Journal West in 2013, “Mr. A helped us find our place in the world. He led
us to think higher, broader.”
