Mr. Wiggins is the epitome of empathy. His warm smile, calm demeanor, and daily fistbumps make every student he encounters feel respected, cared about, and seen. In a school full of wonderful teachers, Mr. Wiggins stands out as a beacon of light, and role model for students during our most formative years. The positive environment he has created in the classroom create an excitement to show up, and a motivation to learn among his students. As a dedicated social studies teacher, Mr. Wiggins prepares his students to understand our individual impact on the world around us. He has an inate ability to connect with us, and support us personally and academically. I have truly never met someone more capable of radiating warmth and a spirit of kindness to those around him than Mr. Wiggins.
