Part 1 of 2
John P. Hickey was a teacher at St. Marys school in Augusta Maine for 37+ years until he retirement a few years ago. In that time he coached sports for over 30 of those years. He is/was an amazing educator that influenced so many students as they journeyed through adolescents and adult hood. His stories and sayings are legendary and if you mention certain words or phrases to the students that were lucky enough to have him along the way, they will instantly light up with their own version of their experiences.... Things like the presidents, the belts, his cars, Jeopardy, "really", pingpong, Boston trip, fido, the gales, "GUS", B Bars, "Be a Bruin" sarsaparilla and so much more.
Hick was the type of teacher that had an amazing sense of humor, knew everyones name including your brothers, sisters and possibly even the family dog. He never took himself too seriously and understood the true meaning of what was important. He never claimed to be a saint, but he was someone that so many of his students had a connection with, including myself.
Mr. Hick is why I personally wanted to become a teacher and coach, he made that much of a difference, and I am going to get him for that some day!!
We thank him for all he has done over the years, the long hrs and the no pay at times. It has been a true pleasure and I am glad to call you my friend to this day.
We take a few minutes and get Hick to open up a little about his life, growing up into adulthood, his teacher career and so much more... to hear these stories will bring you back in an instant and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Even if you never had the pleasure of having Mr. Hickey as a teacher, his storytelling about life will draw you in.
We hope you enjoy!
