Mr. Louis Boroson
Mr. Louis Boroson, undoubtedly one of the most popular faculty members ever to teach at Jericho High School, passed away in November atthe age of eighty-four. The most fitting tribute we could think of is to include just some of the comments that JHS alumni wrote in emails and posted on our JHS Facebook page. | | | | | | | | Do the clean-cut young folks above look familiar? They should. Their images graced the Jericho School News newsletter that was mailed to your parents to let them know just what it was you were supposedly doing on weekdays. | | | | | | | | | | | | “I still remember where I sat in his class: second row from the door, first seat. (Pretty sure that Janet Rhoads sat right behind me.) Mr. Boroson almost had me convinced that trigonometry was in my future. He was a truly great teacher.” — Debra Schwartz (‘71), Ann Arbor, MI

“Mr. Boroson was one of the best teachers (if not the best teacher) I ever had in public school, college, or law school. He actually made math interesting, which is no small feat for someone who much prefers words to numbers.” — Lawrence Friedman (‘69), Bridgewater, NJ
“So sad. One of the great teachers and an inspiration to all of his students.” — Donna Rabena Queenan (’71), Amityville, NY
